Following a spirited two-year fight against cancer Jeff passed away on 8 August 2024.

Jeff will perhaps be best remembered by those who knew him for his easy humour, his considerate and pragmatic nature, his literary efforts - particularly his poems, and in the local area, for his marketing and communications business. He made a difference. He will be missed by many and missed immeasurably by those close to him.

We would like to advise you of Jeff's funeral and following gathering to celebrate his life.

There will be no need for black clothing or sombre attitudes. Jeff preferred that his life be positively celebrated, rather than mourned.

The funeral will take place on Wednesday 11 September at 11am at Southend Crematorium, Sutton Road, Southend, SS2 5PX in the West Chapel.

Following the funeral we invite you to an informal celebration of Jeff's life at the Roslin Beach Hotel, Thorpe Esplanade, Thorpe Bay, Southend-on-Sea SS1 3BG from 12-4pm in the Ballroom. The hotel has a car park at the rear, there is alternative parking along the seafront (pay and display), and large car park on Eastern Esplanade (SS1 2ES), prior to the hotel.

As requested by Jeff, there is no need for expensive flowers. Instead, Jeff asked that donations of the equivalent cost of floral tributes be made to charity, should you so wish. Links to his chosen charities are on the right of this page.

Please use the Attend Funeral button below to let us know if you are able to attend the funeral. You can pay your condolences and leave memories below, should you so wish.

The sad passing of Jeff has prompted many wonderful memories we shared through the years since first meeting in 1970 as young men starting our careers at an advertising studio in Goodge Street London. Unfortunately we will not be able to attend the funeral at Southend on 11th September but we will certainly be celebrating his life with a few glasses of Chianti (introduced to me by Jeff in the early days). Thanks for everything mate, and love and condolences to Tina, Chris and Louise from Brian and Sue - North Yorkshire xxx.
