A genuine and heartfelt thank you to everyone who's posted, it honestly means a lot, especially those who've chatted to him down the years. I have no idea how well anyone on here knew him, but just in case:
Dad's funeral is now confirmed for Thursday 21 April 2016.
We'll meet at Co-Operative Funeral Care, Crompton Way (A5icon_cool.gif, Bolton, BL1 8NZ at 11 am for a humanist service to commemorate his life.
From there we'll travel to Woodland Cemetery, City Road, Ellenbrook, Worsley, Manchester M28 1BD for the interment at about midday, then to the Willows Suite at the AJ Bell for a light lunch with a bar available.
We could do with an idea of numbers so either DM me on here or email
jonesyboy80@hotmail.com if you want to come along - anyone who would like to be there is more than welcome to help us give him the send off he deserves.
There's also a justgiving page set up in his memory, with all donations going to the Christie, who cared for him and supported him throughout his illness - [urlhttps://www.justgiving.com/IanJones49[/url
