It’s with great sadness that we share the passing of Lion Geoff Chadwick.

Geoff was a well loved and respected member of Whalley and District Lions Club and earlier this year received the Melvin Jones Fellowship as recognition of his service to our community.

Geoff was a former Policer Officer and worked within schools - delivering the Tufty Club and Cycling Proficiency as part of his role.

Geoff always had a smile and his signature laugh.

Our love is with his family and we will all miss him tremendously.

For those wishing to pay respects- a service of celebration is to be held in Tuesday 29th September at 11.40am at Accrington Crematorium- bright colours please.
