Launch a Memory Whitby

Margaret M Kavanagh

Our Mum was caring and compassionate and gave to charity all her life,it's a fitting tribute to think her name will be displayed on the side of the new Whitby Lifeboat ,we miss you Mum xx

Jean Darby

A true and proud Yorkshire woman who never lost sight of her roots, or her accent, even though she lived in in many different countries. She would be so pleased to be part of this Whitby Lifeboat and knowing that our donation will help to continue to save lives on the Yorkshire coast.

John Edward Thomas Onions

To a very much loved Dad. We miss you. You are forever in our hearts and thoughts. XXX

MICHAEL BRITTAIN

Dedicated to my brother Mick who loved sailing and was rescued by the Walton on the Naze RNLI many years ago.

Captain Scott Horsburgh

Scottie and I were deck cadets together in the British India Steam Navigation Co. back in 1971. Scottie crossed the bar far too early, leaving a wife and 2 sons who had followed him into the Merchant Navy. A great shipmate, companion and friend. RIP

Barry J Jackson

Barry was afraid of the sea and the RNLI was the only charity he would donate to and so was chosen as the memorial charity when he died. We'd visited Whitby many years ago, loved it and had hoped to return, but never made it, so fitting that his name will be included on the new Whitby lifeboat. God's speed to all who sail in her. RIP Barry: Nov 1947- Oct 2021

Ray Isaac

We miss you! Always in our thoughts. Xxx

David Kinch

David Kinch thought this would be better than buying you flowers. Safe journey on all your new travels in heaven. I bet Dad is sick of being nagged by Mother up there in Heaven you and he can talk together about all the haulage routes and jobs you've been on together.

James Gordon Gibson

My dearest Dad, my northstar, I carry you in my heart always x

Robert Bonner

You are missed terribly by us all but especially Pauline, your girls and the grand babies. You were such a lovely man who adored his family but had time for anyone. Fly high as heaven has another angel.

Paul John Sands

Dad always loved boats and was a supporter of the RNLI for many years. Rest in peace 1933 - 2022

Jim Richardson

Jim has supported the RLNI for many years both visits to lifeboat stations when on holiday and through it’s shops. It was a fitting tribute to Jim at his funeral to have the donations to be given to the charity. We as a family will be at launch .

Our dear dad Ken Whitemore

Dad loved the sea and sea going vessels. He was a great admirer of your charity. He left us on January 24th 2016. Always loved.

Arthur Walker

Dad was born in April 1914 and raised in Bridlington down the coast from Whitby. He loved the sea and spent much time swimming in it! In 1934 he was awarded a Royal Humane Society velum for helping to save a man from drowning. He planned to be a merchant seaman. Sadly the 2nd World War got it the way. He was called up into the Army, then Normandy just after D Day, June 1944. That July he was severely wounded, his dreams of a career at sea were dashed for ever. He died in December 1985.

John Payne

Love and miss you Dad xx

Paul Artis

Our dad was taken too soon from us on Christmas eve 2022. He was a keen sea fisherman and had 2 small boats. He lived on the east coast and instead of flowers at his funeral, we opted for donations to RNLI. We had our dearly departed mum, Maureen Ivy Artis name put on the new Wells Lifeboat and attended the launch. Our dad is missed deeply and this tribute will help him live on, thank you RNLI for all you do for those in peril on the sea!

Alan Whitbread

Missed every day but your name lives on

John Massie

John was much loved man who will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. John had an enduring love of the land, sea and sky. He enjoyed swimming, sailing and coastal walks. John supported the wonderful work of the RNLI for over 30 years, and so it feels a fitting tribute to have his name displayed upon the side of this lifeboat. May the crew aboard the lifeboat, and the lives of those they save, be blessed.

Norman Smith

Norman Smith was born in Harome, North Yorkshire. He and his wife Stella lived in Whitby when they were first married, and he worked there from 1951 for 2 years before they moved to Helmsley . His first child (Christopher) was born in Whitby. Ever since those days, Whitby has retained a special place in the hearts and memories of all his family, including his grandchildren and great grandchildren. He is remembered with love.

Robert 'Rob' Conley

Rob sadly died on 11/11/22 with his family by his side. He was a dedicated family man & will be sadly missed. The last place we went as a family was Whitby, August 22, where we had an amazing day, finishing at the lifeboat station. For us to put his name on the Whitby Lifeboat is really special to us. Rob was always near water growing up & for 11 years he served as crew on Porthcawl lifeboat & was involved in saving many lives & made many great friends. Sadly missed & forever loved xxxxx

Jim Leech

Jim joined the crew of the Dunmore East Lifeboat in 1985 holding the position of Emergency Mechanic until 1992, when he reverted to Crew Member. He completed over 8 years’ active service.

Doreen Atkinson

My mum, Doreen, is 88 and thankfully still enjoying life. She has always supported RNLI, always insisting on popping into the gift shops saying "every little helps". She adores Whitby and the sea so will be thrilled to see her name on the lifeboat. What a wonderful idea!

Michael Postill

My dad loved Whitby all his life and also fishing which was sometimes sea fishing we lost him in 2011 but I know he would be so proud to have his name on the lifeboat.

Derek Williams

Derek was a wonderful husband, Grandad and Great Grandad who loved the sea and had a 25 foot fishing boat, The Kittiwake, for many years. He was always happy when he was out on his boat with his mates. His love of fishing and the sea came from his Uncle Fred and Derek went out fishing with him from a very young age. Sadly Derek passed away on 12th March 2022 and he is sadly missed every day by his family and friends and he would have loved the fact that his name was on the side of a lifeboat.x

Geoffrey Adams

Launch a memory made in honour of your 97th birthday, the first birthday without you here to share it with. Your Navy days left you with many stories to tell dad and as a life long supporter of RNLI I hope you enjoy your new found days at sea with the lads and lasses. Love you for always, Shellie Xxxxxxxxxxx

BARRY TRICKER

I miss you so much my darling. You always supported the lifeboat and saving lives. Such a gentleman, forever missed. 1937 - 2020

Henry Pemberton

Henry had an interest in Maritime and ran a shipbreaking company in the 70s/80s in Liverpool. March 2023 would be his 90th Birthday and so to honour him, we have chosen to add his name to the Lifeboat at Whitby. As a family, we spent a lot of time in Whitby and so it seemed fitting to donate to this Lifeboat. It will be nice to know he is with the crew when they go out to complete their amazing work and his name will be out at sea. Happy Birthday, Henry/Dad xx

Ernie Bott

Our Dad spent almost 60 years teaching 1000’s of people, young & old, lifesaving at Derby Lifesaving Club and the 73rd Viking Venture Scouts. Here he is meeting Princess Anne at the opening of the scout building with the Viking VU. He supported the RNLI most of his life. God bless him & the RNLI.

We both supported the RNLI actively from joining the Humber 200 club to Geoff's death on 23 December 2022. We both got the 30 years of volunteering award this summer, presented by Amy (our RNLI organiser) which was must appreciated. In our RNLI activities we were a team and I know how much Geoff will be missed by the branch and his many friends as well as by me. His name on the new Whitby Lifeboat is a fitting tribute to a wonderful man, friend and husband.

Richard Edward Firth

My brother, Richard, loved Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay. We had many happy family holidays there as children; he was often to be found down on the beach or out on his bike, exploring the area. His love of the East coast continued right up until he passed away in 2021. He spent many happy hours on the beach with his dogs- it's comforting to know his name will live on in the town he loved.

John and Jean brought up 3 daughters and later spent their long retirement in Northern NSW.

Edward 'Brian' Lower

This is in loving memory of Brian, our beloved Husband, Brother, Uncle, Father, Grand Father and Great Grand Father. Being able to add Brian's name to the lifeboat is such a fitting tribute, as we never came to the seaside without visiting the lifeboat station.

You cared for and helped so many people in your life it’s only right that you with your name on this incredible lifeboat continue to do so every time she goes out to help many more lives be saved.

Remembering our beautiful mummy, who we lost too soon. When we were children we spent many hours with her going door to door collecting change for RNLI with one of their orange plastic collecting boats.

Love and kisses to her in heaven from her loving family xxxx

My very much loved brother Roy , brilliant rugby player (league ) coach and very popular man . Missed very much by wife Sarah , brothers Paul and David , friends and family . Sleep tight xx

Dixon Hubble

As a child living in Whitby, when my Grandad visited he would stand me and my brother in the centre of the swing bridge, looking out to sea. Then, regardless of tourists, he’d tell us with great drama that when he died, he was going to have a Viking funeral. My brother was to fire the flaming arrow from the bridge (which he would mime), I was to blow the horn (which he would demonstrate). Much loved, we lost him 20 yrs ago, but he’d love that his name will regularly make that voyage to sea! Xxx

A forever lasting loving memory of an adored special friend. The RNLI was dear to your heart just as you will always be dear to mine.

He was a life long supporter of the RNLI and visited any of their launch sites, shops and museums at any opportunity. A member of the merchant navy and coming from a naval serving family his first love was the sea and the vessels which sailed upon it, especially the engines that powered them! He was everything to us and will be greatly missed by all.

He would be so proud to have his name on the Whitby boat as we are proud of him and our ancestors

Ken Smith

Whitby was your special place, just like it is ours. What better way to honour you than to have your name on the lifeboat. You were a guardian to us all, and now you will be a guardian to those in need.

Robert Spanton

Born in Whitby,Robert,known as Bob was a well known,well loved member of the Spanton family,owners of Spantons Menswear.The whole family supported the Lifeboat throughout their lives and Bob would be so happy knowing his name will be speeding out to sea to rescue those in need.

Ashley Riley

“Don't Grieve For Me For Now I'm Free Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free I'm following the path God laid for me. Itook His hand when I heard Him call; I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way; I found that place at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy” Forever in my heart, til we meet again xx

Ashley Riley

Our Dad loved the sea and he was a dedicated fisherman in his spare time. He was a gentle soul and liked to help people, he would be so proud to see his name alongside the RNLI.

Stephen Leach

The RNLI and the rescue helicopter saved Steve and crewmate off the coast of SW Wales in 1980/1. After a fire, the 40ft fishing vessel was towed in, re -ignited and ruined... It was our good luck. He moved to landlocked Shropshire to become our beloved husband , dad and grandad. And he wrote some great songs of the sea. Steve died in 2019 after 25 years with MS.

Dennis Lendrem (1923-2003) served in the Royal Navy during WW2 from 1941-1945. He was fished from the water when his ship HMS Medway was torpedoed and sank off the coast from Alexandria. I just wish he was still here, so that we could tell him the lifeboat at Whitby now carries his name.

We think about you every single day . “ The lifeboats “ was you favourite charity and the thought of you setting to sea crashing through the waves with the brave men and women of the RNLI makes me smile.

William Nathan Hutchings

William Hutchings (Bill) joined the navy aged 19 in 1944 and served in the Patrol Service. He was the telegraphist on a minesweeper patrolling the North Sea and destroying mines laid by the Germans. As such he was very much aware of the hazards of being on the sea. Bill passed away in 2008 but as his wife and best friend me and my daughter know he would have been glad to support the brave volunteers of the RNLI. We visited Whitby some years ago and have very happy memories of the town.

Ian Ross Bateman Patrick and Dr Andrew Jackson.

In memory of the founders of Threshfield lifeboat Ian R. B Patrick(1937-2018) and Dr A. J. Jackson(1949- 2021). The Threshfield lifeboat raised £10,000 towards an RNLI landing Pontoon at Whitby. It began in 1996 as an April fool's day prank that was featured in the local paper and became a genuine fundraiser over the years for the RNLI. Threshfield is many miles from the sea. Two local characters who went beyond the Call of Duty. Their lifeboat motto being "Distress, we have a flair for it" !

My Dad, David

Unfortunately my Dad passed away 3rd Feb 2022 after putting up an amazing fight against Myelofibrosis. Growing up our holidays / days out were always on the East Coast. Every visit to the seaside he’d have a walk round the boat, watch them at sea and donate whatever he could. The RNLI was quite a close charity to my dads heart. He was in awe of the work they did, the lives they saved, the conditions they had to battle.

Tom Libby

In loving memory of a wonderful, kind, hilarious & fiercely intelligent Dad. You fought until the end in your life that was cruelly cut short at 56. I am so proud to be your daughter. You were an amazing Dad & will never be forgotten both in heart & in this country. You invented the Disabled Person’s Railcard in 1981 when you were on the Board of Directors at British Rail, changing the lives of millions with it & all other Railcards. To know you was to love you & I loved you infinitely xxxx

John Hall Cumming Robertson

John dedicated his working life to enhancing safety at sea through his employment with Lloyds Register of Shipping. Recording his name on a lifeboat is a wonderful way to commemorate my father.

Dorothy Renshaw

Dorothy was my loving mother in law. She was also a caring wife, mother and grandmother. She was loved by friends, family and members of her local community. Dorothy was renowned for her outstanding baking skills, her fruit cake a particular favourite of mine. Every year my wife Amanda and I holidayed with her parents at resorts at the coast. We would visit many RNLI stations and collect a small souvenir. Our last trip was to Whitby and it is fitting that a memory is launched in Dorothy’s name.

Joseph Paul Metters

My nephew Jo died suddenly in his sleep at the age of 18 months after a reaction to the MMR vaccination. He was a beautiful strong healthy boy, with eyes as blue as the sunniest sky & full of mischief & wonder. He was loved & adored beyond words. We all miss him so much every single day. Joes ashes were scattered in the sea. Every time the sea spray touches his name it will reflect our tears & every splash will be a kiss from us all.

Jean Green

For my mum who supported the RNLI for as long as I can remember miss you everyday

Michael Joseph Coleman

This is in memory my late father, Michael, who served in the RN 1940-1945 as a Wireless Telegraphist (Sparks) aboard a number of smaller ships - armed trawlers and corvettes - escorting convoys operating on the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. He sailed out of many East Coast ports, Aberdeen, Hull, Grimsby and most probably Whitby. A huge admirer of the RNLI, he willingly, unquestioningly sacrificed 5 years of young life for his country, for which we remain ever thankful.

May Marshall

Looking forward to visiting Whitby and seeing the lifeboat that will carry your name. Miss you always and so glad that this opportunity arose to commerate your memory and such a good cause.

Cliff Willard

Cliff was born in Walthamstow in 1932. He became a trombonist in the Scots Guards band aged 18 and played at the proclamation of Queen Elizabeth II and the funeral of King George IV in 1952. When Mum and Dad retired back to Ramsgate, Mum joined the RNLI, quickly becoming a committee member then secretary of the Ramsgate branch for many years. As Mum had always been at Dad’s side, so Dad was at Mum’s side at fundraising events and collections and playing the trombone to raise money for the RNLI.

David Gouck

For you mr David as you were a firm supporter of the RNLI. Miss you so much

Joan Cornwall

In 1981 in Douglas I.O.M. My mum got into danger with my brother’s in a rubber dingy. They got caught in a strong current dragging them out to sea. As she got as for as past the lighthouse , the lighthouse keeper noticed something wasn’t quite right so informed the Harbour Master who launched his boat immediately. Meanwhile my mum was comforting my brothers as the lighthouse keeper shouted help was on the way. So that day the lighthouse keeper and harbour master where real heroes. Thankyou

David Sweet

Dedicated to the memory of my darling husband David, who passed away in 2002. David was a lifelong supporter of RNLI and I am proud to carry on the tradition. David's name is on all of the "Launch a Memory" lifeboats and I will continue to do so as long as I can. Calm seas and blue skies to all the brave volunteers.

Mick Wright

My kind, loving brother passed away suddenly when his beautiful heart decided to stop suddenly and break mine into a million pieces. Mick always gave money to this cause and this was a way for my poor mother and myself to honor the man that he was. There will never be another like him.

Philip Scott Dodgon aka Philok

Dad (Philok) who passed away in October 2022, had been a lifelong supporter of the RNLI. With family ties there, the lifeboat museum in Redcar was always a special part of his childhood holidays & subsequent return visits. Having his name forever etched on the brand new lifeboat, Shannon #13-49, which will be stationed in Whitby, is a very fitting tribute that I know would have meant the world to him ❤️
