Maurice Alan Dengate (13 Sep 1938 - 20 Nov 2020)

I’ve been going through my Father’s things and found some pictures of Woodfields CC which featured Maurice. I then thought I’d google him and unfortunately came across this obituary. My father and Maurice were great friends and I remember him and Rita coming to our house on City Way on many occasions. I’m sorry for your loss and send my best wishes.

With fond memories of Memories who will be missed by us all

In loving memory of a dear friend. Reunited with Rita now. God bless.

I first met Maurice in late 50s as a talented and fierce opponent in inter-departmental cricket and from then on as a colleague from a different department. Retirement, Kent cricket and Wetherspoons gave me the opportunity to really get to know and appreciate him as a straight talking but generous spirited person who I was privileged to be able to call a friend.
Rest in Peace.

Memories of Uncle Maurice and also Rita at this time.
Whilst I have many, I always seem to come back to when we used to visit when I was younger with mum & dad as I used to get a treat of a 'real' Coke rather than Mr Bacon or similar which we had at home.... Plus I also came away with full pockets to Duracell batteries (most probably courtesy of KCC...).
Later memories was him testing my intellect with one of his ad-hoc quizzes. It was very rare that I came out equal, let alone on top.. But did surprise him a couple of times.
Rest in peace and hope from where you are you can see some of the wonderful tributes

Thinking of you and missing our birding days

I have wonderful memories of Maurice as a boss, a sportsman, a good friend. Always level-headed, he would resolve work problems with little fuss where others flustered. An occasional blunt comment would be followed with a cheeky laugh and nobody could take offence. RIP Maurice, now with Rita again, both sorely missed.

Maurice. Once met - never forgotten. Rest in Peace

Forever missed Uncle M

In memory of Maurice Dengate

I will sorely miss this most remarkable and interesting man who was a pleasure to work under and to socialise with. He was down to earth and oused common sense and his lively brain was always in overdrive. RIP Maurice my friend. John Henry.

With fond memories over many years. A very good friend who is sorely missed.
Reunited with his beloved Rita.

Remembering Maurice as my first boss at KCC in Payment of Accounts Section in Sept 1965 and as Frank's boss in Income Section in 1982.

In loving memory of Maurice and my beloved sister who features in so many of the photographs posted here. May they may be together again.
Remembrance is a golden chain Death tries to break but all in vain. To have, to love, and then to part, is the greatest sorrow of one's heart. The years may wipe out many things, but this they wipe out never - the memory of those happy days, when we were all together.

Happy memories of working with Maurice.
