Title: RIP Reg Lane
Post by: David Drinkell on December 23, 2011, 05:50:54 PM
It was sad to learn this week of the death of Reg Lane, who for many years was rep for Hill, Norman & Beard, based in Essex. Reg was apprenticed to Henry Willis & Sons, but spent most of his working life with HN&B. His round included jobs like St. John's College, Cambridge and Saffron Walden Parish Church. He was a skilled craftsman, an excellent tuner and very nice person, with a fund of good stories. May he rest in peace.

Hi

I'm very sorry to hear this.  Reg used to tune at Burnham-on-Crouch Baptist Church - and was probably the best organ tuner I've had the pleasure of dealing with.  I'd heard that he's not been well recently.

RIP Reg.

Every Blessing

Tony
