1937-2025
The sad news that Eric Pointer died on 17 January 2025 was reported in the Eastern Daily Press.
Eric joined HMSO in July 1966 and worked as PB8 in Finance and Planning, Norwich.
Brian Cockram adds: Barbara saw the obituary notice for Eric Pointer in the Eastern Daily Press. I worked with Eric in the late 1970’s probably in Establishments as it was in those distant days. He was active in his local church and had become a lay reader: I believe. Eric eventually persuaded me to accompany him to St George Colegate’s Wednesday lunchtime service. Afterwards there was tea/coffee in the church or in summer outside. I was eventually recruited into the parochial church council and became the treasurer for a time. Eric was always a very supportive and friendly colleague. Below is a picture from 1982 with Eric. He is third on the right with a dark beard.
