A short time ago we received the sad news from George’s son Richard that his dad had passed away. George was a regular attendee with his wife Rita to many of our reunions. The last one he attended was when we went to London and had our Gala Dinner on HMS Belfast. This is a picture of George with our ex-social secretary, Ray Whitehouse at that reunion.

George’s funeral is taking place on Wednesday 19 November 2025 at 1pm, and this is the location:

Thanet Crematorium – Default Chapel
Manston Rd, Margate CT9 4LY

The Funeral Directors will be relaying the service and this is the link:

We will be publishing an obituary of George’s life and career in the navy in a coming newsletter as soon as we can. If anyone has any memories of George and can help with more information on his life, then please let us know.
