It is with great sadness that the family of Mr John Rimmer announces his passing on 23rd August 2023 aged 82 years.
John will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 61 years Catherine; his children and partners John & Eileen, Joanne & John, Paul & Michelle and Carl & Claire; his grandchildren Christine, Michael, Leanne, Sian, Grace, Mia-Rose, Ellie, Eve and Freya; and his great-grand children Bobby, Eden, Mabel, Bonnie, Nate, Teddie, Orion-Blaise, Tommy, Ada and Bessie.
His heartbroken granddaughter Eve has composed the following verse:
Dear Grandad
We knew this day would come, but the pain we feel is numb.
We keep saying how much we all loved you wishing you could hear,
because even though you're gone you still feel near.
Hours spent watching nature programmes now you're flying with the birds.
God took your hand and said come with me, out of pain now let you be free.
Sitting on a Sunday with a red wine in hand, watching your beloved Everton start your week off grand.
An amazing Grandad you were to all, with cherished memories shared by all.
We will spend forever being thankful for the time we spent with you our loving Grandad.
We love and miss you.
This farewell is not the end, it is until we meet again.
For those who wish to pay their respects privately, John will be available to visit from Thursday 7th September during office hours at Thompsons Funeral Directors, Bedford House, 274 Bedford Road, Bootle, Merseyside, L20 9NE. Tel: 01519330202.
