Bryan Gorse

People who have followed Absolute Salsa since the beginning will be saddened to hear the loss of Bryan Gorse.

Bryan was a lovely man, he introduced me to Salsa, he loved dancing, any kind, a warm caring man, and we were very close.

He beat cancer and returned to dancing, but struggled getting back into the swing of every day life.

Bryan was found dead at his home in Shelton Lock by his Son on Friday 16th July.

Bryan will be sadly missed, may he rest in peace

Love & Best wishes to his family and all that knew him

Bryans Funeral will be at Derby Crematorium Allestree Friday 30th July @ 2pm

 take care my friend
