Edwin was a true gentleman and and passionate rugby supporter who passed away suddenly in April, 2007, aged 64.

Following education at the Penzance Boys Grammar School, he became a respected quantity and chartered surveyor who at the time of his death had his own practice in Bread Street, Penzance.

During his life Edwin was very much a community man, and someone who could always be relied upon. He was a Rotarian locally, had been a member of Trencrom Revellers, and had also played cricket for Halsetown.

However, it was the game of rugby football that he served so well, and loved so much.

Having taken up the whistle in 1972, he refereed the game for many years as a stalwart and very able member of the Cornwall Rugby Referees Society, and was a past member of the Penzance & Newlyn RFC Management Committee.

Edwin was also the current Chairman of the Press Gang supporters club - seen above en-route to Doncaster for the Pirates sucessful National Trophy qurter final match in March 2007

Along with his wife Carole, Edwin regularly supported the Pirates both home and away, and prior to his death had been a Chairman of the Pirates Press Gang Supporters' Club.
