RE: Passing of Keith H i r c o c k Funeral Arrangements
I remember Keith with mixed emotions, he was a Provost Cpl and boy did he find you when he wanted too! But he was also a fair man, who always allowed you to by him a beer! I had now idea he lived in Plymouth, I was there in March saying farewell to family before moving to New Zealand, had I known, it would have been nice to pop in and see him one last time.
Deepest condolences to his family and close friends.
Just a quick request for my dads funeral. Shane and I were wondering if anyone would be available to play a bugle at the funeral, hopefully taking place this Friday, (will confirm the date on Tuesday) We would be made up if this could happen. Of course, we know it's quite, but hope one of dads old friends coukd make this final wish come true. Please email me on Dshjuice24@yahoo.co.uk
The Funeral for Keith Hirc o c k, will be held in Plymouth, at Western Mill cemetery, Ferndale Road, Plymouth PL2 2EP. at 14 30 pm.. Would be nice to see some of dads old friends there if you can make it.
I would suggest that you try the Royal British Legion, they may be able to help. I would think it will be difficult to get a Bugler from the Regiment at this time, but good luck anyway.
Could you let us know when and where the Funeral will be, I would like to try and attend if pos.
Hello Fred. Darren here, Keith's youngest. Dad is being buried at Western mill cemetery, in Plymouth, Devon, pl2 2ep, On Friday the 13th of July. If anyone can make it, I'm sure dad would have been very touched.
