Funeral Details

This page is dedicated to John Irvine who sadly passed away on the evening of Tuesday the 2nd of April in Poole hospital due to cancer.

John reached the age of 74 and had lived a life full of joy and adventure.

He started his working career as an apprentice in the Clyde shipyards in Glasgow and served in the Royal Fleet Auxiliary as an Engineering Officer for over 30 years.

He was a Falklands Veteran who survived the bombing of RFA Sir Tristram.

John was a much-loved husband of Trish, who he married in 1977. They were together for 52 years in total.

John was the proud father of Colin, honorary father-in-law to Catherine, and a wonderful grandfather to Ryder and Roman, who he adored.

He was a younger brother to his sister Carol and a brother-in-law to Eddy.

Close relations in the USA, Canada, Scotland and the UK all join with the immediate family in loving memory of John along with the many long-term friends John made on his journey through life.

Everyone will miss seeing and being in the company of the wonderful, kind, funny man that John was.

Donations to Charity

Important Note

Some credit card providers charge very large commissions upon transactions; some as much as 3%. We consider this to be too high and therefore do not accept some cards, including American Express and some variations of Master Card and Visa including those suffixed with ‘Corporate’, ‘Business’ or ‘World’. Normal Master Card and Visa should be fine. Transactions attempted with the higher charging credit cards will be declined by our Sagepay Account. If this should prove to be the case, we hope you understand that we cannot afford to lose 3% on a transaction charge, especially on in memorium donations where we pass on 100% of your donation to the charity and we pay the commission to the credit card companies.

Gift Aid

If you have ticked the box titled ‘Gift Aid?’ then you confirm that you are a UK Income or Capital Gains taxpayer. That you have read this statement and want the named charity or Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) to reclaim tax on the donation detailed on this form, given today. That you understand that You must pay an amount of Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax in the tax year at least equal to the amount of tax that all the charities and CASCs you donate to, will reclaim on your gifts for that tax year. That you understand that other taxes such as VAT and Council Tax do not qualify. That you understand the charity will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that you have given.

Please notify us or the charity or CASC if you:
