In loving memory of Charles Francis Antony Devine who sadly passed away on 12th August 2024, aged 95 years.

'Although Dad did not stipulate about floral tributes in his will, he was a very practical person. On birthdays he would say he didn't need anything for himself but would rather we donated to the Smile Train: a charity supporting babies and children with cleft lip and palate in Third World countries.

He did not state a preference for dress code but laughingly said "as long as people turn up wearing something". However, we all know Dad as a traditional man, always smart and dapper.
Perhaps wear smart or formal, in any colour that you enjoy.'

Floral tributes may be sent by 10.00 am on Thursday 3rd October, c/o John Weir Funeral Directors, 127 Watling Street, Gillingham, Kent, ME7 2YY.

Donations in memory of Charles may be made online via this website for The Smile Train.

Goodbye Dad " The Best Dad in the World". I wrote those words in all your birthday cards and meant them each time. You were the best. You brought me up well and moulded me into the man that I am proud to be. Thank you Dad. I love you. Tony
