Today both mywife and myself went and said our last goodbye to a great Dover man.Mr Jack Ash.aged 95years lived in Dover all his life,worked with my dad and me at the Dover.Eng.works then went on to be the church caretaker for many years at the Beacon Church.
He has done so much in his lifetime in Dover and will be missed so much by his family and all of us who know him.There was a very good turnout to send him on his way. Mr Jack Ash 12thFebruary 1916 to 22nd June 2011 ageed 95years.

No it was this afternoon in the Beacon Church across the Rd from the car wash in London Rd.There was a writeup about him in the D/E last week.

Vic
Many thanks for your kind words.
Like so many people in Dover who are not known, Jack devoted a lot of time to the community at Beacon Church.
My wife (Patricia) was at church followed by cremation at Barham. Jack was my wife's uncle.
From Patricia many thanks for your thoughts.

Pat. Jack and my family go back many years,my dad worked at the DEW all his working life and was working there when he also died at the age of 51,as you know I also worked there for some ten years,but Even before that I was with Jack helping out in the social club,He was a great guy to know and work with. And all the years he put in at the church as a caretaker. Of the lads I know that worked at the D,E,W Jack is one I will never forget.
