ROY
KISSACK 6 Aug 1934 - 16 Oct 2009 It was with much sadness that we announced the death of Roy at age 75. A much loved husband of Rita, dad, brother, granddad, great-granddad, uncle and friend. Roy's funeral service was held at Ruskington Parish church on Thursday 26th November 2009. This was followed by cremation and then a reception at Potters. Roy's ashes will be scattered on the Isle of Man, in accordance with his wishes, in 2010 The church was full and we are grateful to those who took time out to pay their respects to Roy and at the same time supported us, his family. We tried to talk to you all at Potters but there would have been some we missed and some that were unable to join us there - we are sorry if we were unable to extend our personal thanks to you, but we are truly grateful. It was great to meet with colleagues of Dad's from as far back as 1962; to meet people who served with Dad in the RAF; to put faces to names of many athletic officials from around the country; to reunite with family and to meet his local friends. It was a sad day, but one that we feel paid justice to a wonderful man and to do that took all of us that where there - thank you. Someone asked me about the flag on Dad's coffin -
it is the Manx flag Family flowers only were requested - Donations in-lieu of
flowers were invited to Disability Sport Events.
Cheques can be made payable to "Disability Sport Events" sent direct (see here)
. After the funeral service £300.00 was sent to aid the work of Disability
Sports Events - thank you.
