November News

Calum Turner


Davnob was sad to hear news of the untimely death of Calum Gilbert Turner RIP at age of 65. Calum was the son of Kathleen and Gilbert Turner, and grandson of Uncle Lammie and Auntie Rose. Sympathy and warm wishes to Sandra, David and Freddy.


Other news


On a happier note - congratulations to Paul Noble (in UK) and Zippi Noble (in USA) on reaching half-way to a century. As they say ‘Ad Me’a Ve’esrim’.


On an urgent mission from America, Jonathan Davidson was passing through town recently - his task was to supply Mrs Rose of Palmers Green with high-tech pharmaceutical equipment (a pill-cutter). Davnob is delighted to announce that the mission was successful.


Meanwhile Sara and Ron Torten are off to explore the wilds of Antartica.  Don't forget to take the suntan cream!


More news from the Foremans. Iri writes (about Margie's family) that Inbar graduated with her MD and is now Dr Shafran, and Adi (recently married to Harel Cherchi) has graduated in Physiotherapy, whilst Asaf is a lieutenant in the Israel Air Force. Meanwhile (in Sara's family in America) Oren, who graduated last year as a lawyer, was married recently in San Francisco to Tatem Katz who graduated with a Ph.D. in Biological Statistics this summer.


More news as it comes in!

Cyril Davidson

Davnob was sad to hear of the death, at the age of 84,  of Uncle Lammie’s son, Cyril Davidson. Cyril was the youngest of Lammie’s three children - the younger brother of Kathleen (Turner) and Colin (Davidovitz). 



His son, Willie (Steve Davidson), wrote, 'After suffering the challenges of Alzheimers disease for several years our Dad passed away peacefully and painlessly at 4am this morning in his sleep. We love you Pops - Rest in Peace xxx'

Condolences from the whole family.
