Terry Vernazza

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Terry Vernazza. Terry suffered a massive heart attack on Monday 4th November which he didn’t recover from. Our thoughts and condolences are with his family at this very sad time.

It was typical of Terry, just 71, that on the morning he was preparing the club mower ready for its annual service and took home the cassettes to finish cleaning them when he had a fatal heart attack.

Terry’s funeral will be on Thursday 21st November 10.30am at the Saltwell Crematorium, Saltwell Road South, Low Fell, Gateshead NE9 6DT And afterwards at the Hotel Eslington Villas, 8 Station Road, Low Fell, Gateshead NE9 6DR and Alison is very keen for everyone who attends the funeral to go to the after event.
