In loving memory of John Naylor who sadly passed away on 5th August 2026.
Husband of Carole Anne, brother to Keith, dad to Paul, Karen, and Tracy and granddad to 7.
Dad worked as a bus conductor, electrician and television engineer. He had a keen interest in anything electronic, mechanical or comfortably valve-y. Whether vintage valve amps, the rumble of motorbikes and cars, or the rhythmic crackle of airwaves through his adored ham radio, Dad was in his element. If it had gears, circuits or an engine he would tinker away for hours and his hands were never far from a toolkit or a soldering iron.
He loved to chat and command his audience and was wonderfully, unapologetically himself. Dad was driven by an unstoppable compulsion to explain, fix and finish whatever he set out to do no matter how many hours it took. If Dad had a point to make everyone present was going to hear it through to the final sentence and he is already missed by us all. Well, except Mum who thinks he is in the wardrobe.

Becky & Josh donated £100 in memory of John

Rest in peace Grandad <3
Love from Becky, Josh, Toby & Tilly xx

After John and I were parted in our early life my fondest memories were cycling to Mansfield to see Mum and play with John on the wreck at cowboys and indians.
Rest in peace, brother, love Keith xx
