Obituary Don Sheward

As many Club members may have known Don has been in hospital for some time, however, it is with great sadness that I have to report that Don Sheward has passed away today after a short illness.

Don had been one of Coventry Chess Club's longest serving members and has been a regular club player for longer than I can remember. He played regularly in the F team and always supported the club in any way he could.

I know he loved his Chess and was happy playing whether it was a friendly match or a competitive league or cup game. Over the years I know most club members will have played Don and he was always a pleasure to play against, - he was a real gentleman

I know Don was extremely well respected and liked within the club, he will be sorely missed by us all.

On behalf of all Club members we would like to pass on our condolences to his family at this difficult time

Simon
