Peter John Henry (5 Jun 1939 - 9 Dec 2017)

In loving memory of Peter John Henry, who sadly passed away on 9th December 2017, the family would ask that people attending the funeral did not wear black and would prefer floral tributes from family only. In the place of floral tributes the family would appreciate donations to Dementia UK where possible. Dementia UK fund the valuable services of Admiral Nurses, free of charge to sufferers and carers alike.
