Very sad to hear this. An absolute legend of the Newquay Rowing Club.
Our thoughts are with Michael's family and friends at this difficult time π’
Newquay Rowing Club has lost one of its greatest characters. Michael Crocker sadly passed away last night.
Message from his family:
βIt is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I need to inform you of the passing of my Uncle Mike Michael Crocker after a short illness he passed away peacefully this evening surrounded by his family, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your kind words and wishes. I would also like to thank the amazing nursing team at the GLU unit at Treliske hospital, who have cared for him exceptionally well.β
Michael has been a huge part of our club in every way. He was a singer, a massive rugby fan, a charity fundraiser, and our MC at many events and was always here to support our rowers. He was immensely proud of his Cornish and Welsh roots. His booming voice could be heard above others and his smile would light up the room. His loss will leave a massive hole in the club that no one will able to fill.
We send our condolences to his family and friends ππ½
