It is with sadness that we write again so shortly that Gordon Mucklow, our Honorary President, has peacefully passed away.
Gordon was a huge part of the Gareloch Class for many years, sailing Iris. But also originally Teal (now Arke) – which is how he met his wife Sue – who was sailing Iris (a Henderson family boat)! He raced very competitively and successfully – and yet a regular comment after he had won a race was “the wind was kind to us”. But importantly he served as Secretary and then as Convenor for some decades. The healthy state of the class today is in no small part due to Gordon. And why he was honoured as our Class President.
We send our condolences to his wife Sue, his children James, Bess, Tor and John, eight grandchildren, and all his wider family.
We will pass on any information regarding the funeral and arrangements.
We will miss him.
