In loving memory of Neil Sanderson Smith who sadly passed away on 10th October 2025


xxx Family only to attend the Crematorium Thank you

Please note that Dad was a scruffy chap most of the time, who liked nothing better than a sweatshirt, joggers and a pair of wellies. Please do not feel the need to dress in black or in a suit. Comfort is paramount. Jo and Andrew xx
