Ken Riley MJF
Ringwood and Fordingbridge Lions Club

It is with considerable sadness that the Ringwood & Fordingbridge Lions Club report the passing of Lion PCC Ken Riley on 24th January 2018, aged 97 years.

Ken was a Charter Member of the Bournemouth Club and served as President in 1963/4. He was elected as 105D District Governor 1970/71 and subsequently appointed Chairman of Council 1971/72. He resigned from Lions in 1975 due to health and business problems but rejoined the Wadebridge (105SW) Club in 2008 where he was awarded an MJF.

On relocating to Hampshire in 2015 he transferred to the Ringwood & Fordingbridge Club.

Ken was an outstanding Lion and a Gentleman in every sense of the word and his presence will be sorely missed.

Funeral arrangements The Funeral will take place on 13th February 2018 at 1:30 pm at The Church of Holy Ascension, Church Lane, Hyde, Fordingbridge SP6 2QJ and be in the form of a service of thanksgiving in celebration of Ken’s life.
