Vale Owen Bedford

On 3rd June at Lilydale Memorial Park a large contingent of choristers joined family and friends to farewell Life Member second tenor Owen Bedford (1932-2015).

The service opened with the choir singing Gwahoddiad (Invitation).

Beautiful and heartfelt eulogies came from his two daughters Diane and Denise and from granddaughter Samantha.

Owen (on right of picture) was a multi-talented man who designed and constructed the choir’s stage equipment, which is still in continual use. It serves as an additional memorial to a fine chorister and a real gentleman.

The final hymn was Calon Lân (A Pure Heart).
