St Andrews Bowling Club are mourning the loss of a 'larger-than-life character' following the death last Friday of Jim Warren.
Jim, who was 88, was the club’s oldest outdoor player as well as being a life member and had been looking forward to being outdoor vice-captain this year.
The former club captain died in Weston General Hospital after a short illness.
He was a former police officer with Avon & Somerset Constabulary and, after retirement from the police, became the coroner’s officer for the area.
Jim joined St Andrews around 40 years ago and was a former club secretary. He had also served as vice-chairman of the St Andrews Association of Bowling Clubs.
Club captain Brian Reeves said: “We are all going to miss Jim so much. He was a terrific character and would do anything for the club. He was a great help to me when I first started bowling.”
Jim and his wife Val, who died last year, lived in Salisbury Road, Weston.
