Paul Anthony Gooding (16 Feb 1962 - 16 Jul 2026)

Dear Paul, it was always a pleasure being in your company. Thank you for all of the memories from the many years of our friendship. Rest in peace mate.

No words can express what a perfect friend and role model you were. Rest well now, dear friend, and thank you for everything you gave and continue to give.

In memory of our dear friend and fellow curry clubber Paul. Lots of love, Kirsty xx

Paul, we're really going to miss you at our curry nights 💔
Who's going to wind up Kev W & Phil B up over their misfortune of being West Ham supporters?! Mark W & I will try our best....
Never again will we see you catch your spilt curry on your lanyard that you never took off when you'd come straight from work 😉
You were never without your designer wallet - a plastic Barclays coin bag!
We'll never forget when Kev used to give you a lift home from our Sitar curry nights & you enjoyed all of our complimentary brandies!
Thinking back to our Rivers House days when you'd pop to the supermarket & come back with lots of delicious ingredients and usually a baguette! We were always envious of your dinners.
Everyone wanted to be on your quiz team because of your vast array of general knowledge and sharp wit.
We loved to hear about your travels, especially the house sitting trips. You always had an anecdote or two to tell about them. Always imagined Morecambe & Wise when you & Kev W went off on your trips!
For a larger than life chap (both in personality & stature) you always had the smallest cars 😀
You'll always be with us in spirit when we continue to meet up ❤️
Thinking of all your family and other friends at this sad time.
Love,
Kev Worrow, Phil Burn, Mark Wright & Kirsty Parks
