It is with great sadness that we learnt of the passing away of Philip Schutte in the afternoon of 11 September 2013.

Philip was a big man, in spirit, in heart and always a force to contend with in the pool. He played for Easterns Masters and achieved his golden costume, 20 years of SA Masters, in 2009.

He was a stalwart and central figure of Easterns Masters and his cheerful nature will be missed.

As soon as funeral arrangements have been finalised, these will be published.

Please take this time to keep his wife Sheenan, sons Karl & Lain and their families in your prayers.

The memorial service for Phillip will be on on Tuesday 17 Sept at 14h00 at Trinity Methodist Church, Cresta Rd, Sunward Park, Boksburg.
