We have known Neville for a number of years he was a lovely person and always a smile on his face he certainly was a gentleman always made time for a chat, his commitment to the British Red Cross was exemplary and helping to provide a vital service to the Mobility Aids Service, also helping to raise funds for the Fundraising Team to help people live a better independent life. Neville was well liked throughout the British Red Cross thankyou Winifred for his time with us we certainly will always remember Neville. …

With deepest sympathy to all of Neville’s family at this very sad time. He was a lovely man and it was always great to see him on a Friday afternoon as a fellow volunteer at the Red Cross offices in Knutsford. I enjoyed chatting to him about his cricket umpiring, the work he did at Barnton Primary school and his stories of his lovely family. I have very fond memories and Neville will be much missed by those who knew him. Sincere condolences, Jean …

When Mike and Lynda married, not only did we gain a sister in law, we gained two more wonderful family members too, Wyn and Nev. Nev was a kind man, always smiling and enjoyed a laugh, known fondly as Captain Chaos. We all will miss you Nev, you’ve been taken too soon, but definitely will never be forgotten – sleep tight and keep watch over us all. Xx …

So sorry to hear the sad news about lovely Neville. Sending love and condolences to his wife and family and all those grandchildren! Neville was a true gentleman and I loved our chats each Friday when he was volunteering at the Red Cross.  He always mentioned Wynn and often spoke about his granddaughter at York University as well as his other family members. Thank you for everything you did at the Red Cross over 11 years. Fridays won’t be the same, I will miss you lots. Rest in Peace.  Karen xx …

Andrew Marsland

A great man who displayed a great sense of humour at all times.He took his umpiring seriously recognising that he was there to help the game take place, not to be the centre of attention. When you umpired with Neville you knew you were going to have an enjoyable day. I will miss his friendship and his smile. …
