In loving memory of John Arthur Finch who sadly passed away on 7th November 2020
John was born in 1932 & grew up in Nottingham , he lived in Nuthall for over 50 years, he was an Architect, former Councillor for Trowell & Strelley & Nottingham JP, John had 2 children with former wife Joan, Teresa & Guy & 4 beautiful granddaughters, Polly, Lily, Evie & Ava, he was a brilliant warm & funny Dad & Granddad was much loved & will be very much missed xx
John worked voluntarily for many years with Nottingham clubs for young people, many Nottinghamshire young people benefitted over the years & we have requested donations to this cause as it was very close to his heart.
If anyone would prefer to send donations direct to the Charity, please get in touch & I am able to supply their bank details, many thanks Teresa
I am so sorry to only just learn of Johns passing. He was my Dads Cousin (My Dads father was Walter and Johns Dad was hiss brother). I met John a few times as he was the architect for some houses that were being built next to my house My Dad, Alan has fond memories of growing up with him and my Mum speaks of how lovely his parents were. Rest in peace John. Sending condolences from Alan and Valerie Finch and family. xx

Such happy childhood memories of Uncle John at our much loved family get togethers with his fun, and mischievous smile! A zest for life and such love for his family. Xxxx
The warmth of your smile, your cheeky laugh, holiday hats, nice shirts, a dog by your side, fine dining with wine, memories of Nottingham, always up for for fun, adventure and a party, a lovely dad, grandad and friend. Thank you for being a wonderful person in my life. For me you will always be in Bembridge John, and still make us smile.
Much love to all, Holly x
I have so many happy memories of John and lovely times with all of his family.
Wonderful fun staying with them in Nottingham when I was younger and silly New Year's Eve parties and Teresa's birthdays on New Year's Day - especially when they gave her Misty her pony. Standing in the snow in the front garden with a ribbon round his neck on New Year's Day morning.
John had the most fabulous embrace of life - finding fun and laughter in everything and giving that to everyone around him. And silly impressions of The Goons!....
I have a tear in my eye now but I know memories of him in future will bring a smile to my face instead.
