Dad was a truly wonderful man. He had a love of all sports (playing and watching) but his main passion was the Villa where he was a season ticket holder for many decades.

He was a gregarious and popular man who will be greatly missed by his many friends and family.

We would love to hear of any special memories you made with our dad over the years by posting in the link below.

Trudie Brough funeral

Trudie's funeral will be held at Waseley Hills crematorium at 11.30am on Monday

15th June.

Trudie expressed a wish that we all wear bright colours and make the service a celebration of her life.

The Wake will be advised later.

Trudie joined HR about 30 years ago and enjoyed the friendship and camaraderie whilst taking on challenging walks each Sunday. Youth Hostelling weekends took place three times a year, a few of which Trudie organised. New Year in the Lake District was always on the programme and Trudie enjoyed all the pleasures and adventure of traditional

hostelling. She continued to enjoy Sunday walks with the group until quite recently.

After retiring, Wednesday walking became part of her weekly routine..

We are all going to miss Trudy, her loyal and steadfast friendship, her buoyant spirit,

optimistic outlook and above all her. infectious sense of fun and enjoyment in life and her ability to not take things too seriously.

Here is a poem in tribute to the happiness and fun she gave us:

Our trusty Trudie when traipsing round trails,

Would have us in stitches with her jokes and her tales.

Despite an elegant air and refinement of tone,

You'd be shocked by her gags rather close to the bone.

When hiking up hills on an interminable path,

She'd lighten our load with her marvellous laugh.

Her kindness and humour in such a great measure,

Meant this wonderful friend we did cherish and treasure.

How lucky we were to have such a trustworthy pal,

Our lives were enriched by that incredible gal.
