Fraser Valley Open

The Eric Vanderham Memorial Trophy Being Awarded To Men's "B" Winner Lewis Lees-Buckley by Eric's Wife Paula, Eric's Mother, and Trophy Sponsor Tony
Duffield. Lewis Defeated Shawn Pattison In 4 Games To Win a Tough "B" draw.

Eric Vanderham was a player that played at a "B" Level out of Valley Racquets. He died last spring while on court. His wife Paula at the ceremony said that he was playing really well that day and people tell her, " He was hitting a lot of Nicks?" She asked if that was good. We all assured her it
was. Eric left a wife and 2 small children. Eric played in the Fraser Valley Div 2 league for 2 years. He was 38 years old when he passed away. Lewis will keep the trophy for about 3 months, after which time it will be placed in a display at Valley Racquets until next year's tournament. It will be a
perpetual trophy for the B winner.
