Danny sadly passed away last week after finally losing his long battle against cancer. A former pomfretian (1990s) and all round good guy.
A good friend of the club
Funeral Arrnangement for Danny Porter
We are now able to confirm the details of Dan's funeral on March 1st. The celebration of his life will be at Hutcliffe Wood Crematorium in Sheffield at 3.30pm, then afterwards at Abbeydale Sports Club.
Numbers are likely to be high; we anticipate in the region of 300 and it may be that not everyone will be able to be accommodated within the crematorium. However the doors will be left open and if necessary we hope to relay the service to the outside by sound system. We may not be able to speak with everyone after the committal but would love to see you back at Abbeydale.
No flowers please. Feel free to wear any colours; Dan would not have wanted everyone in black. Any donations in lieu of flowers can be made to the Danny Porter Foundation Justgiving site, direct to the Foundation bank account ( A/C number 51618222, sort code 54 41 44) or by sending to Dave Porter (cheques made payable to the Danny Porter Foundation). We do not intend to have a collection plate at Hutcliffe Wood. Money raised will be sent to Weston Park Hospital, where Dan was looked after so well in his last ten days.
