Harry McAughtry – goodbye to my dear father

We are all so sad. On the morning of 8th February, my kind, funny, and wise father Harry McAughtry passed away. A quiet hero for me all my life, he was a beacon of honour, humility, and selflessness. Along with my lovely mother he taught us all how to live, and he taught me how to live a logical life, and how to laugh at it. He passed quietly, without pain, and his final wishes are being honoured. I’ll write more about him soon, but I miss him more than I can say.

His funeral will be held at St Margaret’s church, Halstead, Kent on the 19th February at 1:45 for 2:00 pm, and all who knew and loved him are welcome to come to the service and to join us afterwards. Full details are shown below the photo – which is of Harry and Joyce at their 70th wedding anniversary, in 2013.
