John Weston: Rest in peace. Image supplied by Dickie Weston.

Reader Dickie Weston has been in touch to ask if I’d inform raders that the funeral of his father, John Weston is to take place this afternoon Wednesday, 5th July 2017 at 3:00pm at  Sandwell Valley Crematorium, just near the junction of the Newton Road and Forge Lane.

There will be a gathering afterwards at the Tiger pub, Yew Tree – all who knew John are welcome. I believe that’s the one in Walstead Road.

John was a long time resident of the Oakdene Estate in Chasetown.

I wish the Dickie, the Weston family and all of John’s friends my sincerest condolences and all the best for the future. I’ll be thinking of you.
