Charitable Donations in leiu of Flowers

As previously stated the family have requested that family flowers only accompany Richard.
However as stated there WILL be a wreath from the Rover Community on this forum & Classic Rover Forum,
I am grateful Joanne has allowed this and thank her for that kind decision.

After much thought Joanne & The Boys have decided that those who wish
can send donations in Richard's memory to a local charity linked both
to the hospital he spent a lot of time at (Pinderfields) and Leukaemia.

This charity is Wakefield Oncology Leukaemia Fund (W.O.L.F.)
Registered Charity Number: 1034649

Their aims are stated as

(1) THE RELIEF OF PERSONS SUFFERING FROM CANCER, LEUKAEMIA OR OTHER BLOOD DISORDERS
AND IN PARTICULAR BY THE PROVISION FROM TIME TO TIME OF EQUIPMENT FOR
THE DEPARTMENT OF HAEMATOLOGY AT PINDERFIELDS HOSPITAL WAKEFIELD
OR SUCH OTHER HOSPITAL OR MEDICAL CENTRES WHERE HAEMATOLOGY WORK
IS CARRIED OUT OR RESEARCHED AS THE TRUSTEES SHALL FROM TIME TO TIME AGREE UPON

(2) THE RELIEF OF CURRENT OR FORMER PATIENTS WHO ARE OR HAVE ATTENDED THE HOSPITALS
OR MEDICAL CENTRES MENTIONED IN THE PRECEDING SUB-CLAUSE BY THE PAYMENT OF MONEY
OR THE PROVISION OF NECESSITIES AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THEIR TREATMENT

The Consultant who looked after Richard is also a Trustee of the Charity

This link will take you to the Charity Commission website listing for the charity
http://www.charitycommission.gov.uk/Sho ... ryNumber=0

As you can see there they are not well off and need the funds to carry on the good work they do in the region.

Wakefield Oncology Leukaemia Fund (W.O.L.F.) at this time do not have a website but I am sure we can help make that happen as well ;-)

Cheques (made payable W.O.L.F.) can be sent to:

W.O.L.F.
MRS J BRUCE
78 FOXHOLES LANE
NORMANTON
WAKEFIELD
WF6 2PE
UNITED KINGDOM

Please enclose a short note explaining that the donation is in Memory of Richard W. Taylor
who passed away aged 40 years at Pinderfields Hospital on
20/06/12 due to complications brought about by Leukaemia.

Anyone wanting to use Paypal to assist in the purchase of the Wreath can contact Chris York (if they know him)
If not then a message or text to me will get you the relevant paypal account details to donate to.
I will be ordering the Wreath tomorrow from a trusted local florist, it will be around the 50 quid mark.
Any excess donated to Chris through Paypal will of course be forwarded to the nominated Charity.

Hi all, got back a little while ago.

When we arrived there was quite an array of rovers of all ages from p2 onwards collected ready to follow the cortege. The sunshine came out for him when we arrived for the service.

Just so you all know I've printed out the entire thread of peoples wishes and condolences on the forum and given that to Pete in a nice folder along with the same from the classic rover forum to pass on at a more opportune moment to Joanne.

Pete did a sterling job I think on every front including his Eulogy, and it was a pleasure just to be able to stand at the back and hopefully let the family know Rick was well loved and respected by us all.

Rest in Peace Rick.
Rich,

Looks like a good turnout for his sendoff, very fitting for a rover fanatic.

Thanks for the photos and well done to all who turned out - it looks like a fitting send off.

It Was.

Vard and I attended in the landy.

Standing room only for rickT and it was well deserved.

Vard took a large series of pictures for Pete, and will likley email them to him, once out of his pit (my spare room), as we only got back from the barn around 4.30 am today.

Mal.
