I have lots of fond memories of Jol; dinner parties, chats in the lane, waves from the camper, banter at functions in the village hall. A lovely neighbour of 30 years + who I will miss very much.

I would often see Jolyon walking with his dog, either in Stara Woods or on his way there. I will fondly remember his friendly manner as he went on his way. I will miss you Jolyon!

We will always remember Jol as the generous man who bravely lent us his campervan for a week, that kindled our desire to get our own. His love of curry and entertaining made for some memorable meals together. Jude & David

We have many fond memories of Jol including following his instructions for Bridge, camping in Nantes for the Rugby World Cup, drinkibg pink fizz in French Sunday markets and fish and chip cinema evenings in Wadebridge. I think these are important and fun memories of times with Joy and Jol over many years and will not be forgotten.
Dai and Fran.

Jolyon was a true gentleman and it has been a privilege to know him. He will be missed by panto players as the face behind the bar. Missed by the neighbours as a gentle, kind man walking out briskly up hill but always ready with a wave. He succeeded in that aspiration to make the world a better place and did it with a smile.

Our thoughts and love are with Joy and the family at this very difficult time. No words, no matter how kind, can mend your broken hearts. However, we wish you comfort and peace. Jol became a very close friend to us at Sunnyside and arguably our most revered confidante. Love db and Sue xx
