I would like to thank all the members of the JRA for their kind words about Robin and I have received many cards as well.
The official announcement came out in the Daily Telegraph today and I hope to make the day a celebration of his life.
BLAIN, Robin William originally from Melbury Bubb and latterly of Titchfield, on Wednesday 25th October peacefully at his new home in Broadmayne after a short illness aged 76. Husband of Miranda (Mandy), loving father of Christopher & Guy, grandfather to Amber and Rosie.
Family flowers only please. Donations, if desired to RNLI and Melbury Bubb PCC, c/o A.J. Wakely & Sons, 16 Newland, Sherborne, Dorset DT9 3JQ. Tel: 01935-816817.
Funeral service to be held at St. Mary the Virgin Church, Melbury Bubb (DT2 0NQ) at 2 p.m. on Saturday 18th November followed by refreshments at Leigh Village Hall (DT9 6HL) where all will be welcomed. Please let Mandy or Wakely’s know if you are attending.
Many people have kind enough to post pictures of Robin and if you have a picture the family would love to see it. I am afraid most of our photos are of Christmas celebrations which have for many years remained identical except for the sons' facial hair!
