Alan, Carolyn, Stephen & Peter announce the passing of John Ridge aged 94 years on 19th June 2025 at Fairway View Care Home. A dearly loved dad, grandad and great grandad who will be sadly missed.
John was a loving husband to his late wife Barbara. They were both keen lawn bowlers and enjoyed many holidays abroad together. John worked as a design technician in the knitwear trade until his retirement.
Following Barbara's death he continued living in the family home on Tettenbury Road until he moved to Fairway View Care Home in January 2020. The home provided John with friends, social activities and numerous ladies to flirt with. Needless to say John was very happy there!
The family would like to acknowledge the care and love provided by all the staff at the home, who went above and beyond in order to give John the best life in his later years.
In lieu of flowers the family request donations to Dementia UK in John's memory. Please copy the link below into your browser:
