In loving memory of John Sydney Riggs, who died peacefully on Wednesday 8th December 2021 at Appleton Lodge, RBLI Village, Aylesford. John was much loved and will be greatly missed by his family and many friends.
John’s family warmly invite you to his funeral, which will take place at St. Peter’s & St. Paul’s Church, Aylesford on 20th January at 12 noon. There will also be a live stream of the service available for those unable to attend on the day.
The funeral at Aylesford Church will be followed directly afterwards by a private cremation service at Vinters Park Crematorium.
