As many of you now know, dad (Robert Vaughan Barlow) passed away peacefully on 9th March 2023 at 17:48. Family and friends were present and holding his hands until the very end.

The love and support you have all shown has been so so appreciated.

To no surprise, it’s clear how loved dad was by so many people whether it be family, friends or people he’s trained/ coached over the years.

We’ve had people offering to make contributions for Dads send off, and although it feels so incredibly wrong to accept these contributions we appreciate and respect how you would all like to support his final goodbye. I’ve been asked for this page to be set up to support the costs by those wanting to make contributions.

Please do not feel you have to contribute, please do not put yourselves out of pocket. All we ask is to remember dad as the funny, stubborn man he has always been.

Full funeral details will be shared once arrangements have been made for those who would like to attend.
