Jane Cassell has advised us of the sad news of the passing of her father, Will Cassell (OB 1950-57), aged 86 on 2nd March 2025.
Will was one of six siblings: Arthur, who ran the Cassell's Bookshop in Sheerness; John, who ran a factory on Sheppey; Francis, who became a Headmaster; Gerald (Gerry), who ran the NAG recruitment company; and baby sister Mary, who sadly passed away on Christmas Eve 2024.
Will became a Teacher, teaching at the Sheerness Tech in the Broadway.
Will thoroughly enjoyed a tour of BGS back in 2018, a real highlight of that year. And his favourite colour remained Maroon, the Old Bordenian Association colour and title of the OBA Magazine. He remained an Old Bordenian to the end.
Will's funeral "The Celebration of a Wonderful Life" was held on Tuesday 15 April 2025 at the Chapel at Bobbing Crematorium, The Garden of England Crematorium (Sheppey Way, Sittingbourne ME9 8GZ).
