Thank you so much to Frank Dineley and all his friends at the Woolton Golf Club for their amazing donation of £1000 from the Old Buggy Club fund in memory of Thomas Browne.

Frank’s grandson Thomas Browne was killed in a crash on 22nd July 2011. Frank and his family have undertaken a number of fundraising initiatives for RoadPeace including several at the Woolton Golf Club. His family are also active members of our North West Local Group.

Thank you so much for this incredible donation, which means so much to RoadPeace and the families that we support.

Thomas with his grandad Frank

When Thomas was killed his family also set up a fundraising page on JustGiving in his memory and shared this poem written by his Nan and Grandad:

Forever Young – Thomas Browne

Our cherished grandson Thomas

Our caring lovely boy

So cruelly taken from us

He’d filled our hearts with joy

He’d passed his test

He’d got his car

His life was now complete

He’d never been so happy

The world was at his feet

And then one day so tragically

We got the news he’d died

At seven o’clock in his treasured car

With his brother by his side

We couldn’t come to terms with it

Too horrendous to believe

His whole life lay before him

Just leaving us to grieve

We’ll forever remember the good times

They cover nineteen years

But Thomas has left such a hole in our hearts

Just filled with sadness and tears

We’ll always remember those wonderful years

And cherish them with pride

Of our beautiful grandson Thomas

Who will walk evermore by our side

Broken hearted, Nan and Grandad
