In loving memory of Glynne Matthews who sadly passed away on 10th July 2026.
A loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather.


We loved and laughed right up to the end, we were so lucky.
You slipped so gently away whilst in our arms, it was so sad but so perfectly beautiful at the same time.
We are left with such wonderful memories and those will stay with us forever.

Thank you to everyone who helped Glynne through his difficult last few days and supporting us through this very hard time, made easier in the knowledge that you are all supporting us with your love.

Jill and family.

Amongst earlier memories,
One of the most vivid is Uncle at Christmas walking up the driveway to Bradgate Manor dressed as Father Christmas, but we all knew it was him because of his bitten fingernails !
but so much fun, him playing Grandad’s ‘s Eminant 2000 organ and singing ‘Great balls of fire’ and going to horse shows with him Dad and Adrian
These memories will stay with me forever

  • They were such great times weren't they Lou,,,we were all so privileged. Horses, motorbikes and those fields and woods and "over the track" to mess around in. We certainly were blessed as kids.

My great friend Glynne, going to miss the laughs we had and the odd ‘tot’, so many memories to treasure - New Years Eves, our family holidays and days out in the earlier years, I will miss you my friend.

Glynne’s love and devotion to Jill and their descendants is the measure of the man he was. He did it with joy and pride. There couldn’t be a better example of how to live a happy and fulfilled life.
Heartfelt condolences and much love to all of the Matthews family.

Haven't seen Glynne for a few years, but the memories from my childhood have always stayed with me.

From the days when our Lyndale Road sweet shop became the Matthews family business, a change that soon grew into a great friendship, to family holidays, picnic days, rides in the Triumph Stag, nights at Poole Pirates Speedway and, of course, the squash club, to name just a few, there are so many happy memories.

Thank you Glynne. Rest in peace.

From our first meeting with Glynne and Jill, so many years ago, time in their company was always fun and enjoyable. Throughout the ensuing years it was clear he was so talented and a great family man of whom he was so proud. A life well lived. RIP Glynne

Grandpop lived life as it should be lived. With music in his ears, Glenfiddich in his glass and love in his heart. He travelled the world, married the most incredible woman and made a family that he couldn’t be more proud of if he tried.

I hope he’s showing Jimmy Smith a thing or two about the organ. I know that anywhere I hear Jazz you’ll be there too, tapping away and telling me that classical musicians wouldn’t be able to play like that. Miss you already mate. All my love.
