Jeff Della Mura (30 Jan 1953 - 8 Aug 2024)

I was thinking of Jeff and found out the sad news. I have very fond memories of working with Jeff and his kindness. So sorry to hear of his passing

Only found out just now about Jeff,GENTLEMAN in every sense of the word.Farewell my friend.

The two most memorable things about Jeff for us are always a big smile and always a wise word. We will miss both xx

To a lovely Man/Husband/Farther

I first met Jeff when we started St Helens school in September 1958 a long long time ago. We lived close to each other and growing up we became close friends . In our early childhood we rode our bikes , we climbed trees, made camps and went fishing . Jeff taught me to fish , a very patient teacher as I recall , a hobby that is still with me today . As we got older , we learned how to drink , we frequented many of the local pubs , especially The Bridge House in Canning Town , where rock music became a way of life .
We started work , and Jeff was in to his artworks , I still have an oil painting by Jeff hanging on my wall at home , it is dated 1974 .
By this time we started chasing girls and we went on our first independent holiday to Butlins , I think we we were aged about 16 or 17 , a gang of about 6 teenagers . We had a good circle of mates .
As time moved on we married our girlfriends and had kids . All through any troubles which, marriage brings I would know that Jeff was on the end of a phone or email , and both of us sadly divorced . Many a time through any troubles we would end up discussing our troubles over a pint .
As life settled down again we kept in touch and through his illness I hope that I was some comfort to him on our visits .
Jeff was always a good friend to me and I hope he felt the same . I don’t think there are many people in life that you keep in touch with for 66years .
His passing has brought me many fine memories of our childhood and I know our mutual friends at yesterday’s funeral felt the same , we had a few chuckles and I know Jeff would have been pleased with that .
Rest in Peace Jeff . You were a good friend and will be sorely missed !

Today, our thoughts are with Jeff's family and friends. May his funeral bring a sense of peace to all those who miss him.
Sending strength and comfort

Anyway my memories of Jeff are still very clear mostly of our time at Creative Sales in the eighties, we had great banter between us we got on very well, he was a throughly nice decent talented bloke even though it’s a while since we actually met( you both stayed with us in Brighton) we always sent each other jokey silly Christmas messages keeping that banter going!
We Will light a candle for Jeff at our local church here in Spain tomorrow.
Best wishes Richard and Diane

Thank you Jeff, for being you, for your humour and for all that you shared with us.
Rest in Peace

Always the fun uncle with his poems and jokes. He shared his wise words and always help guide us in the right direction. The boys thought you were the coolest uncle they will all miss you, we all will.

Thank you for the games, Peter pans playground, the poems, the bike rides, Christmas's, always singing to me on my birthday, helping me build my portfolio for college, we were so lucky to have you.
