In memory of Derek Tanner - Del boy
Donation protected
On Monday 21st October our father/ husband Derek Tanner passed away at Michael Sobell House-Mount Vernon Hospital, Northwood, HA6 2RN.
Derek went into hospital on Wednesday 9th October, a week later we were told that it was terminal, he was then transferred to the hospice on Friday 19th October.
We had hoped we had a couple more weeks, but it was not meant to be.
There was no indication that he would pass away on the Monday.
Derek leaves behind his wife Joan Tanner, married for 53 years and his four children Desmond, Debbie, Terry and Joseph.
Derek also leaves behind two surviving brothers Ronnie, and Denis.
There was no funeral plans in place, or savings to pay for Derek final journey.
We instructed Lodge Brothers to organise the funeral for our father.
Funerals can be costly and the funeral estimate came in at £9,436
any donations would be greatly appreciated to give our father the send off that he deserves.
Derek wishes were for a burial which will be held at West Drayton cemetery and his service will be held at St Marys church in Harefield on Wednesday 27th November.
The people that know Derek, know that he was a giving man, always putting others before himself.
He was never afraid to play the fool, he was a caring man and would like everyone remember him that way.
