It is with great sadness that I have to report the death of Jack Connelly on Friday 29th November 2013. Jack died peacefully in hospital after a short illness.
Jack was one of the founder members of the Scale Section of the Brentwood Model Boat Club around 1988 and was a stalwart of the club throughout and serving on the committee from time to time including a spell as Chairman. One of the highlights of his time in the club was when we sprung a surprise 80th birthday party for him at the lake in June 2007.
Whenever there was work to be done Jack would be first in the queue with a saw in one hand and a hammer in the other ready to tackle anything. He was also a fine model maker and a great supporter of the club at exhibitions all over the south of the country including some where he represented the Model Power Boat Association
Jack was also an ardent supporter of the Surface Warship Association travelling around the country and into Germany to display his models in support
of the Association. He will be sorely missed by many in the model boating world.
Our condolences go to his two daughters Caroline and Jackie and their
families.
