1958 - 2016.
Our friend and colleague Lawrence Walker passed away peacefully yesterday, at home, with his family by his side.
Lawrence joined the Yorkshire Cricket Board 6 years ago as HR Manager and Chance to Shine administrator, being a valued and much loved member of our team. He loved his time working at Headingley as a highly respected staff member and friend to all he met.
Cricket was his world, having been a Rawdon Cricket Club player, member, committee man and Chairman for 40 years. The club recognised his service earlier this year with a special presentation to Lawrence at the club dinner. Lawrence also served on the Aire & Wharfe League Management Committee and assisted the league umpires panel.
Our deepest condolences are extended to his wife Lea and all the family.
