Robert John Charles Hiscoe #RIP

Everyone at New Farnley Cricket Club are deeply saddened and devastated to hear of the tragic news about Robert John Charles Hiscoe.

Rob was a local hero and very popular character around New Farnley and the wider Leeds Community, fondly remembered during lockdown for entertaining everyone “Vera Lynn” style with his nightly singing shows that lasted well into the early hours of the morning until the bottle of gin was no more, raising thousands of pounds for the nhs.uk.

Rob sung many times at the club, brightening up parties and celebrations with his wonderful voice making the events special and memorable, he also brightened up many living and dining rooms, hallway, stairs, landings, bedrooms and kitchens with his wonderful decorating skills.

Personally, Rob sang at our President’s Stephen Dalby‘s 40th and 50th birthdays and Rachel Dalby Was Welbourne‘s 40th which were very special and decorated their house from top to bottom on many of occasions, singing as he went along, wonderful value for money.

Our sincere condolences go out to Christina Hiscoe, Nevaeh Hiscoe, Nyla-Rae Hiscoe and his wider family and close friends.

RIP Robert Charles John Hiscoe – RJC Painter & Decorator – Local Community Hero – Marching On Together.
