It is with sadness and regret that we announce the recent death of Philip Sabin, husband of Cindy Sabin who was active on the Midland Branch committee for a number of years to 2009 when she relocated to Pittsurgh in the USA. Philip continued to live and work in the Midlands and he continued supporting Midland Branch events until fairly recently. Philip was a kind and gentle man who derived pleasure from being with Beardies and their owners and especially with Rosebud and Angel, Cindy's and Philip's own Beardie girls. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to Philip's family and particularly to Cindy at this particularly difficult time. Any member of the Beardie community who knew Philip and who wishes to make a donation in his memory towards Beardie Rescue & Welfare can do so by sending a cheque care of Pat Wincott, 69 Foredrove Lane, Solihull, B92 9NY.
