C A Parry
It is with deep regret that we heard from Capt Lawson that Mr C A Parry , catering officer, on the MV Amparo passed away on 31st of January at Kobe.
As the vessel was sailing 17:00 hours 2nd of February a memorial service was arranged at the Kobe missions to seamen which took place at 11:00 hours on 2nd February and was attended by all officers together with the master and officers of the MV new Westminster city which happened to be in Port. In addition representatives of the various agencies attended.
Mr Parry was one of our long serving officers and was very much respected. He was 43 years of age when these untimely passing came. He will be missed by all these colleagues ashore and afloat. All readers will wish to be associated with expressions of sincere sympathy to Mrs Dorothy Parry and family.
