JACK PATTEN
By Rob Patten
Sad to report the passing of Jack Patten on Saturday January 19th in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada. He was well known around Newhaven having moved there from Southampton after the war. He worked around town and for a time; with his wife Jacqueline; ran the little shop in Newfield Road before emigrating to Canada with his family. He was a local Air Cadet and became involved as an instructor later on. He also contributed comments and articles to Our Newhaven. He is pictured in March 2010 with brother Len (left) and Laurie (right).
