The passing of Barbara Linssen – message from Margaret

Hi All

I had a call from Ken Gotts today, a long time Dolphin Member of over 30 plus years, with the sad news that his partner Barbara Linssen passed away on Friday.

Ken and Barb met through the Club and have been together for 29 years.  Barb was 78 years old, with a number of health problems over the past 9 years.

It was wonderful watching the love story develop between the two. Ken and Barb were very keen divers and enjoyed many a trip with the Club.  So sorry for your loss Ken, you were both very close, you are going to miss Barb so much.  Hopefully in your future travels you will call in and keep in touch.

I am sure Club Members will share in your sadness as we all remember Barbara.  Even though you moved south to New Plymouth, a number of Members still called for a catch up.

Cheers Margaret
