In loving memory of John Leonard Denham who sadly passed away on 24th January 2023.

John was a hard working, generous, loyal, fun loving family man, who was never happier than when he was socialising or helping others especially it it was home improvements especially family, he always greeted everyone with "hello cocker" John was an all round happy chappy.

Unfortunately John was diagnosed with Oesophagal cancer July 21, he fought it to the bitter end, enduring Chemotherapy, major surgery and further Chemotherapy and immunotherapy, but (Boris) John didn't like the word cancer, he thought Boris was an apt name to call it as it wouldn't do as it was told.

John wouldn't want family and friends to be unhappy, he would want everyone to live life to the full and be happy.

Darren Foster donated £40 in memory of John

John, you always made playing a round a laugh, even when the actual golf was a joke....

I only met John when me and our family move to our house opposite to John & Jackie in 2018 but could not have wished for a better neighbour and a true friend who always had time for us. You will be sadly missed by us all!!! Love from the Piggott’s
