FAMILY FLOWERS ONLY PLEASE
We are deeply saddened to share the news of Robert Durham (Bob) passing away at home on 10 March 2026 at the age of 69. He bravely fought a brief but courageous battle against melanoma cancer.
Bob was a devoted Husband, Father, Grandad and Brother, whose laughter kindness and love touched everyone he knew.
He will be deeply missed but we are looking forward to celebrate his life with family and friends.
The Wake to be at the Scouts Club (behind the Navy Club) Bluebell Way
DL5 7PW
from 2pm onwards.
Disco and karaoke, as requested by Bob, he wanted people to have a good time rather than a morbid affair.
If people could please advise if they can make the funeral/wake/both, so we can get a rough idea of number attending.
In honour of Bob’s memory instead of flowers we are collecting online donations for the County Durham and Darlington NHS Trust Charity (CDDFT Charity).
