Our beloved Nello passed away peacefully on Sunday 28th September 2025.

He was cared for marvellously by the dedicated team at St Luke’s Hospice Clinical Outpatients Department during his illness and we are profoundly grateful for their compassion and support. Nello volunteered for the charity Care4Calais and the cause of refugee support was very dear to his heart.

At his funeral we ask for family flowers only, but would be happy to receive any donations in lieu of floral tributes, that will be split between these two very worthy causes.

With sincere thanks,

Jo, Anita, Alessio and the Santinelli family

❤️ Update: Heartfelt thanks to all who attended the Requiem Mass in person or virtually. To all our very generous donors, thanks to you we have raised nearly £2,500 which will be split between the two charities in Nello’s name.

Thank you again, Jo, Anita and Alessio and the Santinelli family
