In loving memory of John Sumner who sadly passed away on 10th February 2023. John was a a long time resident of Lower Hill Drive and spent most of his life in the Adlington Area. John loved Wigan Rugby League and enjoyed watching them beat Saint Helens. His love for his garden and animals is a fond memory for all of us. He was a proud Father to Gareth and they spent many a day fiddling in the garage. He found love with Sue and they then went on to enjoy adventures together all over the world. He was a kind, fabulous man with a great sense of humour and he will be deeply and sadly missed.
