We have set up this fund in memory of a wonderful man, Dennis Down, a treasured Husband, Dad and Grandad. 

Dennis suffered from a number of lung related diseases and he was sadly taken from us on Christmas Day 2018, aged 86. 

Dennis lived a long, happy and active life and it was only in the last 6 months that his condition worsened, preventing him from doing the things he loved most. 

He leaves behind a wife, two children, four grandchildren and their respective partners who he loved dearly and treasured every moment spent with them. 

Dennis always felt that flowers for a cremation were a terrible waste of money. It is therefore the family’s wish that donations are made to this worthy charity rather than being spent on flowers.

Hopefully, this will enable further research into this debilitating disease and eventually preventing others from suffering in the way that he did. 

He will be greatly missed by all who knew him and he will stay in our hearts forever. 

“Memories live longer than dreams”.
