In loving memory of Charles 'Derek' Hughes who sadly passed away at home on Wednesday 9th August 2017 aged 81 years after a short illness.

A gentleman and a gentle man to everybody he met, his smile and easy going nature will remain with us all.

A great Husband for 57 years and also a great Dad, Grandad, Son, Brother, Uncle & friend.

A service will be held at Bobbing Garden of England Crematorium at 1pm on Friday 1st September 2017 and then a celebration of his life afterwards at Michele & Graham's house in Hempstead.

We will always have wonderful memories of Derek at the Hughes family gatherings - and there have been many! He was truly an '"old school gent" and always had the biggest smile on his face - such a pleasure to be around.
All our love to you all xx
