In loving memory of Chris "444" Slatford who sadly passed away on 28th June 2024.
A much loved father, grandfather, brother, ex-husband and member of his local community.

We've selected Yorkshire Cat Rescue for any charity donations. Dad was a life-long cat lover who sheltered more moggies than I can remember (or even knew of) over the decades, and have absolutely no doubt this charity would be at the top of his list.
Thank you - Dan & Tim

A huge thank-you to everybody who attended the funeral and/or the Old White Bear afterwards, the chapel was filled to capacity. It's difficult to comprehend how this quiet man I knew back at home later gathered so many friends, but I'm so very happy he was a part of all your lives, and you all a part of his.
We raised £172 in cash donations to Yorkshire Cat Rescue. I've rounded that up to £200 and donated via JustGiving so they have the added Gift Aid benefit. The current total, including Gift Aid is over £535. Thank you again to everybody who donated. I know dad would be absolutely thrilled at the response.

Chris was an amazing man and brought so much joy to many lives. I feel very fortunate to have known him and called him a friend, I will cherish many happy memories with him forever.
RIP Chris!
Lots of love

I still look in to the Laugher on my way home in an afternoon. The expectancy of seeing you sat there is now replaced with, sadly, seeing an empty chair at Slatford Junction. I'll always look in regardless, and raise a smile in your memory. Rest in peace Chris. xx
In loving memory of Chris and his love of cats. xx RIP xx

Chris I can’t describe how much I’m missing you… I miss the daily conversations we used to have & the “surprise” chocolate on a Wednesday lunch time.
Have them clippers ready for me lad because you’re going to need a trim when we meet again.
I think about you daily, I miss you.
Love you lots, G 🩷
A lovely man who always had a smile and a tale to tell. May you rest in peace Chris x
I knew your father very well and we were drinking partners in the OWB for nearly eight years. He was one of the best friends that I have ever had and I never heard him say a bad word about anybody. We were often compared to 'Statler and Waldorf' from the Muppet Show and Chris was a very funny but subtle man! We sometimes talked about old age and infirmaty and I know for sure that he would not want to have been incapacitated for any length of time. He was a caring loving man who often talked about his family.I shall miss him very much.
Every time I walked past Old White Bear he was there to give me a smile and a wave. Will never forget you Chris. X
Rest in Peace Slatford, you will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing you
