Keith Raper (Raper & Brown) Cockerton RPS

Saddened to inform the members of the WDA and his friends further afield of the passing this morning of Keith Raper of Cockerton RPS & the Darlingotn & District Federation..

Top loft for many years in partnership with his brother in law and his Father Dennis they excelled week in week out but were particularly successful from the Channel and Inland Nationals.

Keith fought his illness bravely and thanks to help from Neil Cadman managed to race his old birds up to the very end and won 1st, 3rd & 4th Club from Arras on Wednesday in his final old bird race.

To his wife Val, his son's, dtr and Grandchildren we extend our deepest sympathy and are sorry for your loss.

Rest easy Keith, try not to wind up Dennis too much now you are reunited with your parents.

Condolences from all his Clubmates in Cockerton RPS, Tracy, myself and Auntie Liz xx
