In loving memory of John Douglas Bridge who sadly passed away on 21st December 2025
John was born in 1945 to Doris and Frank Bridge. He was joined by a sister Janet and a brother David. John married Carol on the 20th March 1971 and they have lived happily together, delighted by the arrival of a daughter Rachel and a son Stuart. John had a busy working life but has enjoyed his retirement, his model railway, gardening and spending time with his family.

Carrie Hutchinson donated £30 in memory of John

I’ll always remember your warm friendly welcomes and your huge smile. Now that I have finally seen your incredible model train set up I will forever remember you as an amazing model maker. Rest well ‘my dear’ uncle John. Much love, Carrie and family
