Dear Laura, Christina and Emma,
On behalf of many of the members of Troon Tennis club who remember George, we send you our sympathies. Some of us seniors who still play remember him as a stalwart of the mens 1st team and I remember he was particularly kind to my brother Ken Ferguson who as a young player showed prowess.

That legacy from previous players like George lives on and we still encourage and befriend the young players to enjoy the game and be sporting in success and otherwise.
I remember Christina playing with her Dad and we still use the benches he donated to the club, - a seat of friendship and rest after a hard game!!!

I hope these short reflections raise a smile and a happy memory at this difficult time. Russell Ferguson on behalf of the Club.
