Default Rolf (sad news)
Sad news, John Bennet has just phoned Dad to let him know that Rolf has passed away in the last hour after his long illness.

Soon as any funeral details are known we will post them.

Rest In Peace Rolf

From

Malc & Gem

have just been informed that Rolf will be Cremated on Tuesday 20th May at 2.15pm

Oxford Crematorium Headington
Bayswater Rd
Headington,
Oxford,
Oxfordshire, OX3 9RZ

Rolfs relatives would like a rough idea of numbers that might be attending so that arrangements for food afterwards can be sorted easier.

You can either post here and i'll pass rough numbers on or you can contact John Bennet

Just got back from Spain and read this.
Speaking to John Bennett last weekend he told me that it was probably not long away, and in many ways it's a relief that he's no longer suffering.
Rolf may have been a little eccentric in his ways, but the fishery that bears his name stands as a testament to the man and his devotion to his fishery, and will be maintained as such in John's capable hands.

Rest in Peace Rolf, Goodbye Chap.
I'm sure he'll be keeping an eye on the place.
