RIP FRANK THORLEYRIP FRANK THORLEY

With the most profound sadness, we share the news of Frank Thorley's passing with the members of Thanet Wanderers.

Phillip announced his father's death yesterday evening in a statement from the Thorley Taverns Family -
"With great sadness, we announce the loss of our founder Frank George Thorley who passed away peacefully this evening 22nd March 2023.
His family greatly appreciate the kind wishes already being received and we know that our loyal local customers will all wish to pay their respects over the coming days. We are all deeply saddened at the loss of Frank this evening but as he would have insisted, also remember the good times he shared with many friends and customers around Thanet, Kent & beyond."

The committee of the club send its sincere condolences to Phillip and the wider family on their very sad loss.

Thanet is a poorer place this morning with the passing of the man who has contributed so much to the Isle.
