It’s with a heavy heart that we are writing this…”our” Harry, Uncle Harry…a cousin, an Uncle, a best friend, a true Great British Legend (and proud of that he was) and a fighter until the very end. Despite travelling the world and settling in Canada he would never forget home and regularly returned to his roots, staying with us in Frosterley. Sometimes just turning up, on one occasion he was spotted walking over the bridge with his kit bag, but it was never a bother because he would just fit right in, he was one of the family.
We knew he loved to visit and we loved to have him stay and his company was priceless, hours and hours of talking, so many stories, there was never a silence, never a dull moment and we had some real laughs. Memories we will cherish forever. He was a big part of our family, albeit living more than 4000 miles away.
We have all visited Canada where he would thrive on being tour guide and put himself out to ensure we saw everything there was to see and have a holiday to remember.
We were lucky enough to have spent a lot of time with him over the latter years, when his visits became more frequent, for this we will be forever grateful.
Our sincere condolences are with Colleen and all the family, thinking of you all ❤️
Too say he will be missed is an understatement.
So Harry put down your kit bag, hang up your cap, grab yourself a pint, a pork pie and a tin of Cadbury’s Roses, pull up an armchair and start telling those stories and remember one thing you are a Dobson and a Dobson is always right.
You will be deeply missed Harry…..May you rest in peace.
Always in our thoughts and forever in our memories
The Frosterley Dobsons (Maurice, Valerie and Family)
