Many thanks for your kind words Harry and for getting in touch this way. It was very sad about dad he’d been ill with vascular dementia but we’d managed to care for him at home but unfortunately he was in hospital for 8 weeks with a gallstones infection and he didn’t come home as his dementia deteriorated so rapidly- we hope we do him proud at his funeral to give him the send off he deserves- he was truly a very special dad xx Jane (Dereks daughter)

A great man to have known. I knew him when he worked at Royal Blackburn Hospital. He will be sadly missed by many.
