On behalf of the team at Key Yachting, we would like to say a huge thank you, for the astounding number of cards and messages we have received since we told you the news of Paul's passing writes Emma Dunn. Even if we have not been able to respond to your message yet, please know that we have read them all. Your support has given us an incredible amount of strength, and we are especially proud to have called Paul a husband, father, friend, and boss.
Anyone who wishes to attend the funeral is very welcome. This will take place on Tuesday 19th March.
As the River Hamble and the village were such a huge part of Paul's life, the funeral car will pass through the village, and along The Quay, on the way to the crematorium. This is an opportunity for anyone who wishes to pay their respects. We estimate this will take place around 13.30.
14.30 - 16.00: Service at Test Valley Crematorium, Ridge Lane, Romsey SO51 6AB. As we anticipate large numbers, please be aware that many guests will be asked to stand throughout the service.
16.30 - late: Drinks and reminiscing at the Royal Southern Yacht Club, Hamble SO31 4HB.
Dress code: Whatever's comfortable, including regatta t-shirts that remind you of Paul!
As opposed to floral contributions, please give generously to Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance.
