It is with great sadness that I have to inform you that our President and Founder Member, Dr Mike Bruton MBE, died in the afternoon of Wednesday 24th May having suffered from several bouts of pneumonia and a short period of time in hospital.
His son, Roger, tells me:
Dad passed away peacefully at home with family members around him.
I remember that Dad was very active in the Disabled Ramblers and enthusiastic about promoting access to the countryside for all. I have lots of photos of Dad out and about including quite inaccessible places.
Dad’s funeral is taking place at 2pm on Thursday 15th June at the Oxford Crematorium, Headington OX3 9RZ followed by a reception at St Nicholas Church Hall, lsfield Rd, Old Marston, Oxford OX3 0PR from 3-5.30pm.
The intention is that the service and reception will give everyone an opportunity to celebrate Dad’s life and share memories of him.
No flowers by request and donations to Muscular Dystrophy UK charity.
