It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of Group Captain Harry Dufton

Harry was President of the British Weightlifting Association for the Disabled from its start and supported that sport and many others together with his wife Terry.  Both served on the Executive Council (now Board) of WheelPower-British Wheelchair Sport and Harry was also Chairman of the Fundraising Committee during his long association with the charity and Stoke Mandeville Stadium.

He is also fondley remember by IWAS Vice-President, Karl Vilhelm Nielsen from Denmark who, in a tribute said ”I knew him well. Have spoken with both – Harry and Terry – several times in Stoke – long time ago. Maybe it was mostly with Terry – she was very friendly and open to “foreigners” as me but Harry always showed his commitments to our sport and federation.”

Our sincere condolences go to the family and friends of Harry at this time.
