Happy Father’s Day Dad, Miss you so very much, never far from my thoughts 💝💝
In loving memory of Mel Downing who sadly passed away on 12th August 2017.
Loving husband of Sue, father to Vicki and Ade, Grandfather to Ellis, Father in law to Caroline & Graham and brother to Vonnie.
So incredibly missed by all his family and friends.
A great man with a warm heart, a big smile, never-ending humour, flamboyant taste in clothing, questionable colour choices, but not such a bad drummer!
Heaven is just that little bit more cheerful, brighter... and noisier than before.
We would love you to join us at Poole Crematorium on 30th August at 12.30 in bright cheerful clothing.
We will then be meeting at The Willett Arms pub directly after the service for drinks, nibbles and giggles, just as Mel would have wanted.
The Willett Arms can be found at 2 Oakley Hill, Oakley, Wimborne BH21 1RN. Less than a 5 minute drive from Poole Crematorium.
We are requesting family flowers only with donations to Forest Holme, which can be made from this page. Many thanks.
Happy Father’s Day Dad, Miss you so very much, never far from my thoughts 💝💝
