Kevin Paul White

(21st January 1957 - 8th September 2024)

In loving memory of Kevin (Chalky) who sadly passed away 8th September 2024, aged 67 years.

He was much loved and will be sorely missed by his wife Jane and all his family and friends.

The service will be held at Guildford Crematorium, New Pond Road, Godalming, GU7 3DB on Tuesday 1st October 2024 at 12.45pm, we ask that you arrive by 12.30pm please.

For those of you unable to attend in person, the ceremony will be streamed live, here is the link:  https://watch.obitus.com Username: pepi5776 Password: 844334

Please let Jane and the family know if you are planning on attending in person on the day via this email address so that we have an idea of numbers. [email protected]

There is no dress code, please wear what you feel is appropriate and how Kevin/Chalky would remember you, however he did have one request that he would like to see lots of shorts and Hawaiian shirts.

The wake will be held at The Jovial Sailor, Portsmouth Road, Ripley, GU23 6EZ. A seated area inside the pub will be reserved as well as a large outside covered area so you might want to be prepared and take a coat with you.

Family flowers only please. If you’d like to donate what you would have spent on flowers, we will be collecting for charities close to his heart.

A Few Kind Words...

“Lynn, Bruce and I thank you so much for the wonderful understanding and help you have given us over the past days.It has been a difficult time but made so much easier by your guidance. With your kindness, we feel we managed to say our goodbyes to ‘Roger’, ‘Dad’ and ‘Grandy’ – showing our love and thanks to him for looking after us so perfectly over the years.”

Pat Clark

“Thank you so much for the care you took of mum and help and kindness you showed us making a very sad time so much easier to bear. With very best wishes and a very big thank you.”

Claire, David & Pia Stevens

“How can we say thank you for all you did to make Robert (Bob’s) funeral so lovely? We felt you worked so hard ,with your company and the Church to make everything so nice. So once again thank you.”

Wendy Dennis & Brenda

“To all that it concerns, thank you seems hardly enough for making our Pops (William Hadaway) day very special with love and dignity from the beginning to the end you all made the day very special as well as his wishes you were there for all the family and made it a bit easier for us all to handle, couldn’t have wished for anything more. Many thanks again.”

Mark Hadaway & family

“The family would like to thank you and the whole team at Greenwood’s for your warm and professional service. We were delighted with your attention to detail and the relaxed but respectful manner of the Attendant and Bearers on the day itself. Many of our friends commented on the ‘dignity with lightness of touch’ and said it was one of the best-organised funerals they had attended. It was certainly a very different experience from my father’s funeral twelve years ago, and we shall recommend you wholeheartedly to others.”

Carole Day and Family

“Dear Fran

I just wanted to drop you an email to thank you for all your care and support in the arrangements for my dad, John.

I know that my Mum, Valerie, was most grateful for your support and care, particularly last Friday which was a difficult day for her. Mum said to me that you went over and above in her eyes, making sure she was ok before you would let her leave.

Dad would have highly approved of the day yesterday, and that’s all we could have asked for. It really was the celebration of his life that he would have wanted.

Again, my sincerest thanks and gratitude to you all.”

Helena

Dear Chloe,

Mike

“We just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you did for us. You certainly made a very emotional and difficult time so much easier to bear. We are so grateful for the support you gave us and your gentle guidance along the way. Everything was perfect thanks to you and we would highly recommend you to all. With very best wishes.”

Thank you for all your hard work and great communication for the arrangement of mum’s funeral. Even though the restrictions limited certain things, everything ran so smoothly.
