Condolences to all the Family

My adored big bruv, so many memories, especially of you being on home leave from the Royal Navy. Servicemen wore their uniform in those far off days. I would go in to town with you, so proud & happy you were home again. Had my first Coca-Cola at Fortes, Bexhill seafront, so pleased some of my school friends saw us sitting in the window. Life & families meant long separations, then later on more wonderful times and memories, with you & your family. Still reeling from the shock of losing you Roy-boy, goodbye my brother, now with Nan, Mother, Dad, Pat, Barry, Brian & our especially our big sis Ann 🥺💔

A good man and a friend who will be greatly missed by so many people.
It was a privilege to have known Basil for so many years, as a work colleague, a boss, but most of all a friend, he will be remembered often for his humour and kindness.
Rest in peace Basil
Doug and family.
