Clive was gentle by nature, had a sunny disposition, cheeky grin and his smile would light up any room. Clive died suddenly from heart attack at home on Monday 25 May 2020 leaving a void in the hearts of everyone who knew and loved him.
We’d love it if everyone could help us celebrate his life, adding their own memories, music or photos via the 'contribute' section of the website. It would be lovely to see them.

The funeral was a lovely tribute to Clive and Denise led the proceedings in a way that would have made him so proud.
The family hope that you will soon be able to share the funeral online with us and, until the time when we can all meet in person again to celebrate Clive's wonderful life, will take comfort in the recording.
In the future
We hope to all join together for a memorial gathering and celebration of Clive's life when we are able to meet up in person again.
And finally can we suggest that instead of sending flowers you donate to the British Heart Foundation in Clive's name.
