Fond memories of Mr Coombes a Green Hill Road stalwart. Always keeping the garden tip top, growing the produce we enjoyed growing up and fun topiary on the front hedge. Thoughts are with all the family at this sad time.

So many memories I will cherish with Grandad helping in his garden and getting up to mischief together. I will miss playing board games, golf on the front lawn and helping in your shed. Love you forever and always! Danielle, Andy and Ollie Xxx
Practical, clever with your hands, uncompromisingly true to your upbringing, hardworking, wonderfully silly with the grandchildren and dedicated to Mum and Helen. You can now rest in peace Dad.
