In lieu of flowers ...
As you all know Dad was a keen sportsman throughout his life so we thought it was fitting that we support a sports charity at this time.
He was always a stalwart Thurrock Rugby Club (TRFC) member, originally as a player and later as a committed supporter. We are hoping to raise funds so that we can donate to the club in his name.
Dad was lucky enough to receive speedy treatment from the Essex heart team and received a defibrillating pacemaker, which gave him a few more precious years with us following his initial heart attack. The Essex Heart Fund supports patients in the community. They undertake world class heart research and are continuing to develop new treatments for heart patients in Essex.
