In loving memory of Eric Matthews who sadly passed away on 20th December.

Eric was a beloved husband to Rachel and a wonderful stepfather to Sarah, Steve, Anne and Ruth. He was also a loving brother, grandfather and great grandfather.

Many will remember Eric when he was landlord of the New Inn in Winterbourne Monkton. Eric also loved to play golf and to travel – both together when he could manage it. Eric enjoyed a Caribbean cruise with Rachel in November.

Eric supported the Air Ambulance and the staff in the Falcon ward were very kind to Eric when he fell ill in December. This is why we have chosen these charities if you would like to make a donation in his memory.

Eric will be greatly missed by all his family and friends.
