In loving memory of Ivor Richard Passmore who sadly passed away on 12th January 2019 at the age of 93.
Ivor was born in Yeovil, Somerset on 29th December 1925 to Walter and Winifred Passmore, where he grew up with his brother Dennis. In his early years, he attended a local Primary School and was a choirboy at the Holy Trinity Church. When his father retired from the Navy they moved house and he attended Reckleford School and then the local Grammar School in Yeovil. His passion was Rugby Union, playing for the Colts in the first team as left prop, gaining his half colours and then full colours. His passion for rugby never faltered over the years and he would sit and shout at the TV whenever England were playing. His working career spanned just over 39 years, joining the Fleet AirArm as a young man and finally retiring from British Airways after 22 years as a flight engineer. During his 35 years of retirement, he had an active time running caravan tours in the UK, the Canadian Rockies and New Zealand, playing bowls at his local club, Chairman of the International Caravan Association for a few years, a keen member of the Fleet AirArm Association and many other interests that kept him very busy. Ivor was a devoted husband to his beloved wife Shirley and a loving father to his children Cheryl, Karen and Nigel and Grandpa to his grandchildren Adam, Carl, Danielle and Joshua. He will be sadly missed by his family and friends.
