Albert Hampson passed away peacefully on Friday 17th November 2017, aged 99. Albert leaves a legacy that spanned ten decades and he positively impacted the lives of so many people.
Albert was a decorated Para-trooper in World War 2, a dedicated Karate-ka and General Secretary for the SKIGB (Shotokan Karate International Great Britain) for over 25 years, he was an inspirational teacher at Fernwood Comprehensive School, a student, friend, colleague, neighbour, Father to Pat and Jane and life long husband to his late wife Francis.
Albert was a true gentleman. He was honest, genuine and his tremendous contributions touched so many people. The world is a far better place for Albert having been here.
Albert spent the final 3 years of his life living at Meadow Lodge Care Home in Beeston. The amazing staff there looked after him, cared for him and made him comfortable until the end of his life. Meadow Lodge have several fund raising events each year to raise money which they spend on experiences for the residents (visitors coming in to entertain, trips to a local pub for a Xmas lunch and drinks, Easter eggs, etc) Albert (and the other residents) got tremendous joy from these experiences. If you would like to make a donation to this fund instead of sending flowers there will be a collection at the funeral. Albert would have been very happy to know his friends at Meadow Lodge were enjoying a meal or afternoon out on him.
