Win's committal service took place at 1.30pm on Tuesday 28 March, 2023, at Haltemprice Crematorium in Willerby, Hull, HU10 6NS, UK.

​

The Eulogy was in three parts: firstly, Win's granddaughter Isabel read aloud a poem which she had written in honour of her Grandpa and on behalf of all his grandchildren; then Robert, Win's son-in-law, read aloud some words which Win himself had written about what he regarded as "his greatest achievement"; and finally the Eulogy itself, read by Win's daughter Sonia on behalf of all the children.

A Poem – by Izzy Emrich

 

The proud gaze at those he has watched for decades grow up

The ray of sunshine he brings to everyone’s day

The love he shows to the world

The soft kiss like a feather

The way he re-sculpts my misshapen thoughts

How he can turn rain clouds into sunshine

The glint of hope in his eye no matter how loud the hurricane

The lights he puts up in everyone’s heart

The soft hand he gives me when my thoughts are lost at sea

His firm hand on my shoulder

The rich baritone melodies he sings to me

 

This isn’t just a gentleman

This is my grandpa
