It is with regret that I have to report the death of Percy Humphreys of The Green Aston Abbotts.
He leaves behind his younger sibling Hilder and niece Sandra.
Percy was born in the Bull & Butcher pub, Aston Abbotts where his mum and dad were Landlady and Landlord for at least 50 years. They also owned the Bakery there where Percy worked until the death of his mother. He later worked for Todd's Coaches.
He had been living alone since the death of Sheila, his wife. He loved gardening and did this as much as he could as he entered his senior years. I’ve also been told he was a good cook.
Percy will be missed by family, Friends and neighbours.
Percy’s funeral is to be held on Monday 13th September 13.30 at St James Church Aston Abbotts followed by the burial. Attendees are welcome to tea in the Village Hall.
