Julian Holmes Tribute
My thanks to all for the lovely tributes and comments spoken and written to honour Julian, from his many work colleagues spanning 30 years or so, his peers at school and college and from his family, these have been of such comfort to me, I had no idea that he was held in such high esteem by you all. The eloquence of the Matcham tribute from each one in name, thank you Graham, and to my lovely grandchildren Thomas and Errin for their tribute to my amazing son.
I would now like to pay my tribute to Julian from the Holmes family, I was too traumatised and emotional to speak this myself yesterday.
Auntie Frances, at the age of 90 is our matriarch who with Uncle Fred were instrumental in guiding Julian in his formative years, Uncle Michael and Auntie Kathleen, my brother Roger and Vera, my sister Brenda, adding to our close knit family framework and were very much in evidence instilling in Julian his values in life. We all enjoyed Julian’s antics, clowning and entertaining as he grew up. To his big sister Rebecca who was still looking after him, sewing on his buttons and baking for him to the last, and David whom Julian adored when he joined the Holmes family, to play board games with and kicking a football about. My thanks also to my other lovely granddaughters, Charlotte and Michelle who Julian loved to tease over the years, they have both given me such support and comfort in my hours of need, together With Charlottes husband Richard, who was a great strength to my girls yesterday. To my terrific great grandchildren in chronological order – Chardonnay, Alfie, Jamie, Tennant, Emmett and little Carley Irene who have given me an abundance of love and the strength to continue. Last of all to Julian’s cousins Eugene, Sarah Jane, Gillian, Derek, Jonathon and Ruth who enriched Julian’s life, adding to our treasured memories of Family occasions too numerous to mention. We have all contributed to the nurturing of this amazing and caring individual, my Son. Thank you Carl we both created an outstanding young man. Last but not least, my thanks to Sarah who has continued to hold the family together and to be a tremendous daughter-in-law in supporting the Holmes’s over the years
Love to you all, Delphine.

Rest well mate, you were taken too soon. You were part of the happiest time of my working life.

I was both saddened and shocked to hear of Julian's sudden passing. He was the nicest, kindest and happiest person I think I have ever met. So happy singing and whistling at work all the time. I didn't know him very well but he was a person that I will never forget just because of the person he was. RIP Julian, you will be missed x
