TRIBUTES
PATTERSON CASTELLO, WOOD GREEN
PATTERSON Augustus Castello was born in 1939 in Georgetown, Guyana, to Major Augustus and Mrs Victorine Castello. He trained as a carpenter and joiner but when he moved to London he specialised in French polishing. It was there he met and fell in love with Carmen, and their two sons, Damien and Courtney, were born. He returned to his childhood faith after a heart bypass in 2003 and faithfully attended church every Sunday even though it required a long bus journey.
On the day he was promoted to Glory, his oldest and closest friend, Burchell, who happened to be visiting the UK, hurried to his bedside. Shortly after he left, Patterson took his last breath. This caring, fun-filled man will be sadly missed by all who knew him. – PK
ERIC BURGESS, CLOWNE
ERIC was an only child born in September 1942. He grew up alongside many relatives at Clowne, the closest in age being Bill Burgess who was like a ‘brother’ to him with just four weeks between them.
Eric married a local girl, Ann, in 1964 and had two children, Jayne and Stuart. As an envoy, Eric, along with Ann, spent many Sundays in the South Yorkshire Division, carrying the voices of the Clowne Songsters around in their cassette recorder, in between his work as a health and safety practitioner.
Keen to be a voice for people in need within Clowne, Eric served as a parish councillor well into his 70s. Eric was proud to view the achievements in academia and sports of his grandsons, Jack, Matthew and Euan. Eric sometimes bemoaned the lack of recent success for Sheffield Wednesday FC but knew that he himself would one day gain the greatest promotion – to Glory. – GH
