Graham Smith

In memory of my Father who volunteered with Hoylake RNLI crew in the 1980s. He died in 2019. I remember growing up seeing my Father go on call outs back in the day when the maroons were used to signal a call out. A Radio Officer and mechanical engineer in the Merchant Navy before coming ashore in 1981 after seeing the decline in the UK Merchant Navy starting to really get under way and wanted to retrain in a new career. A remarkable courageous man. He couldn’t swim but still went out to sea. 💖

Robert David Orr

Christmas brings poignant memories of times gone by. Daddy always carving the turkey; wearing his paper hat; laughing at his own silly jokes and just ensuring that we were all happy. We were. Forever missed but what wonderful memories!

My Mum & Dad

My Dad, for getting me into Cromer lighthouse unannounced for a tour in the 1960's, and to my Mum and Dad for encouraging me to visit every lifeboat that we came across on our holidays. So much so, that I've been a supporter of the RNLI for many many decades now. I cannot pass a donation box or shop without giving something, alongside regular donations. Heroes all.

Much Loved

Prof. Alex Gardner

Dad loved the sea, but his last time sailing saw him in the water with a lifeboat (Girvan), ferry and coastguard en-route. Thankfully his daughter and a friend saved him, but the RNLI would have been there in minutes if family had been unable to get him out of the water. He was with us a few more years after this, but he recognised his sailing days were over. Thank you RNLI for being there when needed. Dad was loved by many and we have rich memories of him at his special place by the sea.

John Robert Cooper

John, You are the love of my life and you always will be. You are constantly on my mind, I Love You. You left me and your boys with so many happy memories, they keep us going not only at Christmas but through out our lives, you are and will always be in our hearts. I Love You, Your Boys Love You, forever and always, Linda xxx Adam xxx Mark xxx Phillip xxx

Gerard Francis Rewhorn

Gerard aged 82, was a deeply loved family man, married to Anne for 57 very happy years. He was a greatly admired father to two daughters and grandfather to six. Gerard went to Brixham for the past fourteen years to stay in a holiday flat that overlooked the lifeboat station so he spent many hours watching the lifeboat go out on shouts, plus the crews going out on their regular practice evenings. He was a great admirer of the RNLI.
