It is with deepest sadness that we announce the passing of the late Derek Burns a much loved Godfather and dear friend to so many.
Derek sadly passed away on Friday 14th March at the age of 90 years old.
We thank you for all your well wishes and kind words at this very difficult time and would like all who knew and loved Derek to join us in celebrating his life on Tuesday 6th May 2025 at St Marys Church Handsworth and hold in our hearts the memories of him which we can cherish forever. Also Derek's wishes was for it to be a joyous occasion so please do not wear black but instead wear something yellow. Also there will be a donation box in church and at the crematorium which Derek would like donated to Hope For Tomorrow Charity. No flowers please.
