This year has been difficult for so many people in so many ways.

In particular charitable organisations have suffered much fewer essential funds due to the covid restrictions.

Dad received great care and support from St Rocco's hospice and provided our family with the confidence that he was receiving 'the best' in evaluating his needs.

The current 'covid' restrictions have very much limited our ability to invite our community of friends to attend dads funeral, in light of which we intend to arrange a memorial event to celebrate his life in the New Year as restrictions subside.

In the meantime we ask that instead of sending flowers etc that perhaps a donation to this great institution would be a great way of celebrating John's life and in turn may help many other families on the same difficult journey.
