In loving memory of Kenneth Hughes who sadly passed away at the John Eastwood Hospice, Mansfield on the 15th September 2014.

Born in Lochee, Dundee he joined the army on the 21st December 1944 at the age of 17. Kenneth served in many different countries including: India, Malaysia, West Africa, Singapore, Naples and Germany. Kenneth completed his service on the 29th March 1969 after 26 years dedicated to his country. He went on to take a position at the Midland Bank in Colchester as an accountant.

Kenneth leaves behind his wife of 65 years Dorothy and daughter Kathleen 64, sons David 62 and Ian 52. Kenneth had the pleasure of 3 grandchildren Rebecca 40, Katie 35 and Michaella 27. Kenneth also had the greatest pleasure of knowing his great grandchildren Joe 17, Charlotte 14, Zak 11 and Georgia 3. They all adored him with his tales of his life accomplishments and travels around the world.

Kenneth's greatest passion in life was for his bowls and he belonged to two bowling clubs, one in Colchester, The West End Bowls club and the other in South Normanton, Traders in Alfreton. South Normanton is the village where he spent the remainder of his life.
