In loving memory of John "Bluey" Needham who sadly passed away on 19th January 2026
Think we all
Knew Johnny well enough to know his character. He had a heart of gold and knew what he wanted and made sure he got it. He struggled with his mobility over that last few years but his mind never altered and remained the dad Johnny bluey we all knew. He’s now at rest and going to be laid to rest with his mam. RIP dad x gonna
Miss ya. ❤️

First of all thank you for teaching us all about the Romans and antiques. Had great memories at the auctions with you and our Shaun buying furniture that was infested with woodworm but you mate it look like a piece of chippendale after you had polished it. Have a great journey into heaven and say hello to them all waiting for us all too. Farewell uncle RIP love Jay x
