A Fitting Farewell for grOmmet …

Sometimes it is harder than others to find the words and this is such a time. How to do justice to a friend who has left us far too early, how to encompass all he was in words alone…
grOmmet was an exceptional person, always the first to offer unconditional love and support to anyone who needed it, his life spent enriching the lives of others.
He was well known as a Balloon Wyzzyrd ,walkabout character and everyone who met him in December was in no doubt he really WAS Father Christmas ;) His interactions with children and young people were simply magical to witness but whoever crossed paths with him left the better for it. A wonderful storyteller, his humour lifted the spirits and brightened the days of many. Outside of his entertainment work grOm was a keen Gardner who loved nothing better than sharing skills and supporting others to be more self sufficient and passing on life skills to young people. 
As for many entertainers, the Pandemic heavily impacted the family’s finances and it is beyond sad that grOm was taken from his family far too soon and just as he was excited to be returning to work doing what he loved best.
His passing yesterday, from covid, was devastating news which left a huge hole in the lives of all who knew him but none more so than his partner, Anni, son Frank Peter and daughter Cara. They were his world.
 
It would be wonderful to think all those he knew, whose lives he impacted on so positively, his ‘family of friends’ as he called us, could come together to support the family in a way that relieves the financial burden of funeral costs and bills at such an unimaginably difficult time allowing them to focus on healing and moving forward.
Funds will be transferred to Anni directly for transparency and all donations, even the smallest, will be received with genuine gratitude. Any remaining funds after funeral expenses will be able to help the family through the lean times ahead.
