John Howson
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of one of EATMT’s founders and Directors, John Howson, who, after a short illness, died on Monday 13th June at home.
There will be a celebration of John’s life, organised by Katie on Tuesday 12th July in Stowmarket from midday. If you would like the details of the celebration of John’s life, please get in touch with EATMT – info@eatmt.org.uk and we will pass your details on to Katie. Donations to St Elizabeth Hospice who are based in Ipswich will be gratefully received. They enabled John to live his best life at home for the last few weeks of his life and were a great source support to both John and Katie. There will be a collection at this event or you can make a donation online to: St Elizabeth Hospice
