Memorial service for Mr Fixit

He had a strong Christian faith throughout his life and was an active church member in both the St Mary’s Lymm Parish Church and in later years the United Reform Church, where his late wife Barbara was the organist.
He leaves daughters, Margaret and Gillian, five grand children, Corinna, Daniel, Ben, Alex and Jess, and four great grandchildren, Sophie, Emily, Dempsey and Curtis.
