Rod Newham
25.2.44 to 14.11.2021

Rod lost his battle with cancer at home on the 14th November 2021.
Husband, dad, Father-in-law (aka Trouble), grandfather (gramps), brother. Fixer of computers for IBM, Electrician for SWEB, self-builder of our family home, manager of the Carlton Hotel. He was always there when we needed him. He's possibly the only person who could pull of a Mexican moustache (but it was the 70s). He will be missed by all those that miss his sense of fun.

Finally sleep.

His Funeral service will be held at the North Devon Crematorium on Monday 6th December at 3.00pm. Smart dress please, but wear a splash of colour.

Family flowers only please. He'd rather the money go to do some good. And he was never a fan of Lilies!

Donations to the North Devon Hospice that did so much to help him in his final weeks. By retiring collection or C/O Braddicks and Sherborne Funeral Directors, 20-21 St Brannocks Road, Ilfracombe, EX34 8EQ. (01271) 865222

Just after this picture was taken a pigeon tried to steal my bobble hat after it landed on my head. I cried and Mum and Dad rescued it, saving the day.
