A message from David Holes family

We wanted to post this on a local group incase we haven't been able to reach anyone who might have known David Hole.

dad passed away with me and Cheryl by his side aged 74 on 6th Jan 2025.

A quick onset of illness of just 3 weeks shocked our whole family and everyone who helped us with his care in his last few weeks.

He was the best husband, dad, and grandad, things won't ever be the same with out him.

His funeral will take place on weds 12th February at 1.30pm at north bovey church followed by refreshments at the parish hall across the green. All welcome who knew him.

David has always said he wants everyone to be comfortable on the day so there's no formal dress code.
We will have a collection for the air ambulance for anyone who wants to donate.

Please share with anyone who knew dad.
Best wishes Ed and Cheryl Hole
