Adrian Hope (G 69-76) has forwarded the following regarding
A.R.F. (Robin) Brooksbank-Pearcy (SH 57-60), who died in December 2023.

“With sadness I learnt recently of the passing of Robin. We first met on Old Boys’ Day, 1992. I was operating the Bridge Inn at Santon Bridge, Wasdale. He breezed in to the Bar to introduce himself with his partner, Maggie.

We met again on the next Old Boys’ Day and became good friends. Robin was a larger than life character, who loved his Guinness with a passion.

After leaving school, he spent his working life with Mercantile Credit, opening an office in Carlisle and then back to their head office in his beloved Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

Robin took early retirement due to health issues and spent time in Scotland at his Park home. He was a pen and paper man and his Christmas card always arrived first, beautifully handwritten. When I did not receive a card, I knew something must have befallen my old friend.

I can only apologise for my slow notification to the Old Boys’ Society, but my own health has been compromising.”
