José's (Zulu) funeral will be Monday 23rd May 2016.
We will leave the house at about 13:45 and travel José's training route over Shooters Hill to Eltham Crematorium (Falconwood). The service will be at 14:45 until 16:15. Everyone is welcome to return to Oxleas Café for a Life Celebration where there will be an opportunity for anyone who wants to to say some words or share memories.
Donations in lieu of flowers should be done for London's Air Ambulance, you can make an online donation by following this link. Without them we wouldn't have had the last 12months together.
