In loving memory of Gordon Crabb who sadly passed away on 9th November 2018.

Wonderful husband, father, grandfather, brother, father-in-law, uncle, son... and milkman! He lived a life full of laughter, joy and love.

We miss you more than you will ever know.

Veronica, Wendy, Keith & Katie x


Gordon Arthur Crabb
Born 29 April 1934, Croydon - Left us 9th November 2018, Norfolk.

Married to Veronica on 3rd March 1973 in Ashford, Kent, for 45 years... Tootees & Pet lived and loved together in Market Harborough, Sutton, and later enjoyed retirement in Snettisham, Norfolk, along with Coco the budgie.

Father to Wendy, Father-in-law to Keith, Grandfather to Katie... and not forgetting Buddy & Flash, who enjoyed Grandad’s pats and belly scratches.

Brother to Eric, Ron, Olive, Alan, Sylvie & Sue. Son of Herbert & Gladys.

Milkman extraordinaire, extreme camping enthusiast, giant vegetable grower, Morrisons’ best shopper, lover of anything ‘crash, bang, wallop’ ... champion of eating the last crumpet!

We will be saying farewell on Thursday 29th November, 12.15pm, Mintlyn Crematorium, Lynn Road, Bawsey, Kings Lynn, Norfolk, PE32 1HB.

One last thing...
Rather than bringing flowers, donations to the Breathe Easy group (part of the British Lung Foundation) or Tapping House (The Norfolk Hospice) can be made in Gordon’s name either online or by donation on the day in the boxes at the service.
