Just thought I'd let you know that my uncle, Peter Ruddick, died last night at the QEQM hospital in Margate, aged 81.
Older Dovorians will remember Peter well as an excellent local sportsman (football, cricket for Dover Cosmos, tennis and Walmer and Kingsdown golf) who played for Dover FC and Dover reserves in the 1950s.
Back in the day he was also the manager at Dover Engineering Works.
Rest in peace, Uncle Pete,
Andrew x

I didn't know your uncle, Andrew, but I'm not a true blooded Dovorian. However it sounds as if he was a very talented man and a credit to Dover. Not many of his ilk left now, you must be very proud of him.
Rest in peace Peter Ruddick, I'm sure you will be well missed. xx
There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".

Andrew Im the same as Jacqui (ie not a local) so didnt know your uncle but sad to hear of his passing. Seems like he was a good guy an excellent member of the community. He took part, and gave many people pleasure through his sporting activities I'm sure.
