Remembered

A church that was home to all

He built somewhere that people belonged, and forty years on they still say so. That is the thing his family most wants recorded here.

Leave a tribute

A memory, a sentence, a story about something he did. It does not need to be polished.

Tributes are read by a member of the family before they appear on the wall.

Your email address is never published. It is only used if the family needs to contact you about what you have written.
