Ronald William Ferris passed away peacefully on February 14th.
Loving husband to Ann and previously Sheila, and a great dad to Dave, Jackie and Mark and a friend to many. Always a smiling face, always happy, he will be sadly missed by all his family and friends.
Our dad spent his entire career working on the railway in Newton Abbot, London and then locally in Bristol at St. Philips Marsh HST depot.
Starting in his 50's he made what feels like a second career in bowling at Keynsham Bowling Club, where he met his second wife Ann in 1995. They moved to Midsomer Norton in the late 90's where they made Purnell's their bowling club.
More recently, while dad was not well he still was able to smile and make a joke or two.
Crematorium for 1.30pm, and then join us at The Old Down Inn, Emborough for a couple pints to see our dad off - 2.30pm start. on the 12th March. Please feel free just to come to the pub if you prefer.

No black ties and suits if at all possible. He hated ties!
No flowers, what would be amazing is that if you feel inclined please make donations to Dorothy House who supported us towards the end.
