In loving memory of William David Nicholls who sadly passed away on 29th March 2020.

A loving Husband, Dad and Grandad with family at the centre of his life, Bill was loved and respected by all who knew him. Passionate about motor cross, cycling and watching his grandchildren dancing, play football and netball, he was at his happiest when surrounded by the people he loved.

In the final months of his life Bill and David and Sarah were supported by the absolutely magnificent team at St, Luke's Hospice, who cared for and supported the family, in what were very difficult circumstances.

A just giving page is attached and any donations to the wonderful team at St Luke's will be greatly appreciated.

David and Sarah Nicholls

Thinking of you all guys, Bill was a lovely guy who I can say happy to know for around 28 years, through employment and watching Young Lee and David at motocross when I could. Bill will be sadly missed 😢❤️ Gregg and Family x

Like so many others whose lives he touched, I feel genuinely privileged to have spent time with such a kind, generous and funny man. Bill never failed to make me laugh, even at the most difficult of times, and I will cherish those memories forever. Be it Fireworks in the garden, a trip out to motocross or just a cup of tea in the living room. All were a pleasure.
I could never have imagined a more loving, welcoming or inspiring couple as Bill and Elaine. They were always happiest surrounded by family and friends and I am honoured to have been a small part of that over the years.

Rest in peace Bill. God bless you.

Over a lifetime sometimes we are lucky enough to meet some inspiriring, sweet, kind hearted people like William. I have nothing but wonderful memories of time spent with Bill and his family during my youth that I will cherish for a lifetime.

As a child I couldn't even begin to comprehend how kind and welcoming both Bill & Elaine were to us all inviting us into their family, something they didn't have to do.

I am so glad that over the last couple of years I had the pleasure to spend some time in both David & your company. Your quick wit and wicked sense of humour was second to none and will be sorely missed.

Rest easy William, forever in our thoughts x
