Dear Austin Parker,
We are very sad to let you know of the sad demise of John Clapton. John passed away after fighting for many years with deadly bone marrow cancer. We are sad not only at the loss, but at the loss of an great individual who helped the company achieve new heights. We regret the loss to his family as well. The ceremony and the funeral shall take place at Cranfield crematorium on Sunday, 5 p.m.
Sincerely,
Wichert
