As you will know from the post on Tuesday, Martin passed away peacefully that morning, following a battle with poor health.

He and Carole have been central to Chaplaincy life for over 15 years, and worshipped here on holidays for some time before that. Martin was Chaplaincy Warden until this year, and local warden for several years previously. He managed Chaplaincy properties and was a wise counsel to many in the life of the church and in their personal lives.

He was a “larger than life” personality who gave so much, through his love of music, his love of good food, his energy in fundraising, his motivation of others and his solid faith. 

Martin’s funeral will be held at 2.30pm on Friday 7th October, in Wickham Bishops church, near Maldon in Essex. This is very appropriate, as Martin was Churchwarden there for several years, before moving to Moraira.

There will be a private family cremation beforehand.

Whether you attend the funeral or not, do please bear him and Carole in your prayers.

And remember him with joy, for that is what Martin brought to so many.

There will be a live stream broadcast of part of the day. Please contact us for details if you wish to join.
