Death: John Franklyn Bellamy 3005
It is with sincere regret that Barry Henson reports the death of Franklyn Bellamy, who died, peacefully in his sleep, during the night 30 June/1 July 2010 at Holsworthy, Devon in the United Kingdom.

Our thoughts and condolences go out to his family and friends, to whom we extend our deepest sympathy.
