My brother Steve Jarrett, who has died aged 74, of leukaemia, spent his working life with Unicef, the United Nations Children’s Fund. This involved extensive travel and his career meant lengthy periods living in Latin America, China, Denmark and the US.
Steve was born in Ipswich, Suffolk, to Bill Jarrett, a local government official, and his wife, Belle (nee Denny). Our father was a keen sportsman and had played for Ipswich Town FC when it was an amateur club in the 1920s, so sport featured prominently as we were growing up. Steve was a good cricketer and played several times for Suffolk Colts. Despite moving away from the UK, he was always keen to discover the latest Ipswich Town football result.
