Kevin NormanELLISKevin passed away peacefully on June 7, aged 78 years. Dearly loved dad of Kim and Warren, dear father-in-law of Duncan, loving grandad of Finley and Freya, dear brother of Ann and a dear friend to many.
Kevin was born in Wythenshawe, and began his working life as a structural engineer in Surrey, later moving to Littleborough, Edenfield and Rossendale where he continued working as a structural engineer for quite a few years. Retiring early in his forties, Kevin carried out structural planning for individual clients, building this up purely by word of mouth. Kevin loved to attend Tea Dancing visiting the Paradise Club and Accrington Hall amongst many other venues. Kevin also loved his holidays and visited Tenerife sometimes for a couple of months at a time. Kevin liked to travel on buses visiting different areas around Lancashire always making it a day out. Kevin was an active man who loved to keep fit and was a keen swimmer up until his later life.
Most of all Kevin enjoyed his life to the full and was a devoted family man and loyal friend to many. He will be greatly missed but fondly remembered.
Kevin’s funeral service will take place at Accrington Crematorium on Friday June 21 at 11am. Family flowers only please.
