York Wasps are again in mourning following the death of another club stalwart.
Dennis Baker, a former chairman of the Supporters' Club, passed away last week at the age of 77.
His death comes just a few weeks after that of York's popular timekeeper, John Page.
Wasps chief executive Ann Garvey paid tribute to Mr Baker, with whom she recently travelled to the Challenge Cup final at Twickenham.
She said: "It is a terribly sad loss both personally because he was good friend and from the club's point of view.
"He has been an extremely hard worker for the club on the supporters' side.
"When I worked alongside him as secretary of the Supporters' Club and he was chairman he put many hours of work into it. He absolutely loved his rugby."
Condolences go out to the family of Mr Baker, a true and loyal supporter of the club.
A minute's silence will be held for Mr Baker before next week's home game against Widnes.
