 | | Farewell John Swain |
| | Dave Green has contacted us with the sad news of John's death.
Today I have received the sad news of the passing of John, from a heart attack, on Friday 22nd July from his daughter Emma.
John was a friend of over 50 years after working with him at Ashton T.E.C on Shepley Industrial Estate, Manchester North and then also in Manchester Central.
Regards,
Dave.
Dave has updated us as follows, there will be no funeral.
I have had further details from Emma, John's daughter, that John will not be having a funeral. He originally wanted to offer his body for medical science but that has not been possible. His next wish was no funeral but to have a Pure Cremation, so that has been arranged by the family. |

Ken passed away suddenly on Sunday 3rd July.
Ken worked in Dial House Manchester for all his time at BT.
He joined as an adult entrant in 1978 starting on Circuit Provision, moving to Digital Circuit Provision as equipment evolved.
Then later on to Transmission Maintenance in Manchester 'R' where he was promoted to TO. He worked there until he retired.
Ken was a keen water sport enthusiast yachting at Dovestones and sail boarding anywhere there was water!
He always took his board everywhere he went away in his motor home, a Mazda Bongo if I remember correctly.
Lately Ken was a keen walker who enjoyed the outdoor life with friends.
He was one of the nicest people you could ever meet, with a smile and a cheerful hello for everyone, he will be sadly missed.
