I'm so sorry to have to inform you about my brother's passing on 10th Jan. The following entry will be in the Manchester Evening News on Thursday 22nd ; " Simon Lyster passed away suddenly on Sat 10th January at his home in Marple, Stockport. Simon aged 56 years, much loved husband of Jean, loving father of Andrew and father in law of Rachel. Dear brother to Peter and Susan and brother in law to Cathy, Kevin, Peter and Ann and friend to so many. Service and Cremation to be held at the Rowan Chapel, Stockport Crematorium at 1-45pm on Wednesday 28th January and afterwards at the Puss in Boots Pub, Nangreave Road, Offerton, Stockport, SK2 6DG. Family flowers only please but donations if desired to ' Speakability ', a National Charity dedicated to supporting people with Aphasia, c/o Co-operative Funeral Services, 48-50 Buxton Road, High Lane, Cheshire, SK6 8BH " I can still hardly believe I'm typing these words. We are going to miss Simon so much. The service is going to be a very sad occasion. But the family is determined to make sure that there is plenty of music involved as that was such a passion of Simon's for all of his life. Anyone who knew Simon and would like to come along and pay their respects at the crematorium, and have something to eat after the service, is more than welcome to join us. And hopefully stay on and help us celebrate Simon's life in the appropriate way for someone who loved music but was dedicated particularly to American Soul music of the 1960's to date. Simon started off a life long love affair with Northern Soul particularly at Stamford Hall in Altrincham, then the Blue Rooms in Sale and the Pendulum in Manchester, and then ( particularly ) at the Ritz, and so on and so on........... We will be determined to give him a fitting send off and will be playing some of his favourite tunes. If anyone has any queries, please pm me on here ( Ricticman ). Thanks Pete Lyster
