Neville Desmond Kirkpatrick (8 Nov 1942 - 3 Sep 2024)

Rest in Peace Neville. It’s been a pleasure knowing you. God bless.

Nev, you were the kindest , most generous principled man I had the pleasure of knowing . You lived life, worked hard and had impeccable standards . I remember your love of fine dining and travel., though the part of you that I always think of first, was your wonderful sense of humour, that dry cutting wit which only those who got to know you better were able to enjoy. What ever I say will not be enough, what a wonderful human being you were and that I will always feel honoured that you and Sandra treated me like family. I hope you and Sandra are sat in some heavenly restaurant eating queries, sipping wine and smiling down on us all.

Many fond memories of Neville when we used to visit The Fairfax Arms with Mum and Dad. Also, Sunday nights with Aunty Flori and Uncle Reg plus Patch the dog! Neville and Sandra would often be there too. RIP Neville.

Thinking back with great fondness to the lovely Sunday evening visits we made to auntie Florrie and uncle Reg in Dunnington when Neville and Sandra also wandered along to say hello. They were happy days! Rest in Peace, Neville

Loving and Happy memories of the times we spent together as a family at Christmas in his pub. He will be sadly missed. He was a very caring man. Love you uncle Neville. R.I.P. xxx

The Pocklington Group Ramblers have received the news of Neville's passing with much sadness. He was, as has already been noted, a Founder Member of the group and was the Group Treasurer and a much-respected voice on the Committee for a number of years thereafter. Neville was also an enthusiastic and willing walks leader throughout his many years of active membership although just occasionally his usually reliable navigation skills sought to take us down paths which we had not envisaged as being part of the route. He was easily forgiven as his manner was that of a true gentleman, unfailingly courteous and capable of charm. Never one to criticise but quick to show his appreciation of the efforts of others, Neville's standing and popularity within the group rode high. He will be greatly missed by the many members who were privileged to walk with him.

For many years Neville was a big part of our group, and he regularly led walks until Covid came along after which he started to have health issues and never really got going again. Neville will be remembered with fondness and affection by many who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Going to miss uncle nev
