ANTHONY JOHN POWELL MBE

With great sorrow we mark the passing of John Powell MBE on 19th April 2024 after a short illness. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.

Typically, John found the time and energy in his last days to script and arrange his funeral service which was held at Salisbury Cathedral on 20th May. A large contingent of Salisbury Probus members attended to pay their respects and to remember a well loved friend.
