Bill Young, Inverness | |
11 August 2019 It was with great sadness that everyone at Skye Camanachd learnt of the passing of Bill Young, Inverness on Wednesday 31 July 2019. Bill Young and his late wife Chris, who passed away in June 2018, were great supporters of Skye Camanachd and were regular attenders at matches, especially on the mainland. They will be fondly remembered for cheering on the team and providing teas etc. at the half-time interval. Bill had not been in the best health in recent years but always held a keen interest in the fortunes of the club. He was also a keen Inverness Caledonian Thistle supporter; holding a season ticket until recently. Bill and Chris were both Skye Camanachd Vice-Presidents and the family connection dates back to the very origins of the club:
Chris & Bill’s Inverness home always had an open door, especially if you had a Skye Camanachd connection, and it was a popular stop-off point for those travelling to and from the Island. Bill Young’s funeral will take place at the Inverness Crematorium on Thursday 15 August 2019. The Service starts at 2pm. As a mark of respect, there was a minute’s silence ahead of Skye Camanachd’s weekend fixtures and the deepest sympathies from everyone at the club go out to son Angus, daughter Rosslynn and the extended family in Skye and elsewhere at this time. |
