JohnSHERRINGTON1939-2023
Sadly passed away on the 29th September.
John was very well known in the Guildford and Godalming area: Everyone knew him for his larger than life personality and his quick wit! Dad had many caps: He played the drums for the Witley pantomime for many years, which he really enjoyed. Every Christmas he was a professional Santa! He loved nothing more than putting on his Santa outfit, knowing that he would make all the children smile. During the pandemic, he volunteered himself to do free zoom calls as Santa to children all over the globe, he was determined to ensure that children did not miss out on the Santa experience.
He also worked at Thorpe Park where he assisted on the rides, he had many a funny story to tell of his time there. RAF, police force, Godalming Tyre & Exhaust centre, Chaworth children's home, and many many more career achievements. He played the drums in many venues, including Ockford Ridge Social Club, many moons ago!
His proudest moments were the birth of his 8 children: Elaine, Julie, Tracy, Alison, Jacqueline, Claire, Mia and Glen. He lived in Knaphil with his partner Audrey and Dog Bowie.
Dad's funeral will take place: October 24th at 3:45pm, Guildford Crematorium, New Pond Rd, Godalming GU7 3DB, United Kingdom.
