Richard Cole (11 May 1947 - 28 Apr 2020)

In loving memory of Richard Grenville Cole who sadly passed away on 20th April 2020. Richard was born on 11th May 1947 in Old Church Hospital, Romford the third of four children to Lilian Dorothy Cole and Alfred Cornelius Cole. Valerie (Sister), David and Barrie (brothers). Richard had two children Vanessa Elizabeth Cole (now Henneker) and Daniel Richard Cole. He also had three loving Grandchildren Theo Henneker and Jacob and Chloe Cole. Dads long term partner Susan is being cared for in a local home and is visited and looked after by the family.

We (Vanessa and Daniel) wanted to create this space to honour and remember Dad (Richard/Ricky). The current situation means we can only have 10 people at the funeral and are limited in terms of getting together with friends and family to share stories and memories, we will be arranging something in the future. For now please feel free to leave memories/messages and photos you may have it is a great comfort to us at this difficult time.

We also set up an option for people to make a charitable donation, should you wish, we selected the British Heart Foundation as they undertake a lot of research into circulatory disease as well as underlying health conditions Dad lived with included diabetes.
