In loving memory of Michael Snelling who sadly passed away on 7th December 2015. Loving husband of Colette, father of Cathy and Liz and Grandfather to Marcus, Alan, Nicole, James and Eleanor.
He was born in Upper Norwood and lived most of his life there. He obtained an MA at Oriel College, Oxford. Worked in his family Coal business and Camping Business. He was a member of All Saints Church, Upper Norwood and spent many decades helping people and working as a Samaritan.

Micheal was a lovely, kind, funny man with high values of right and wrong which he past through his jeans contributed by Colette. He past this down to his children and grandchildren. I remember fondly at liz's wedding he being slightly worse for wear smoking a cigarette and getting all sentimental and being very funny.
Joan his younger sister also talked the other day about what great fun Peter and he had with the Balloonatics, they would make large tissue paper balloons and fuel them with charcoal in mince pie tuns and then chase them around London in a car.xxx
Thankyou for the kind (and funny!) words. XX
