Chas Sedge

Chas died, sadly, but peacefully, on 31st. October. He was the father of Mandy, in turn a member of a great family that we've been friends with for many years back down in Bedfordshire where we moved from almost fifteen years ago when we came to Lincolnshire.

Chas was a great musician, along with his daughter's partner, Colin and both have entertained us on many occasions. He died aged 93; a good age.

His funeral is next Thursday November 15th. when I will travel to Milton Keynes to pay my respects. Regrettably my wife cannot accompany me but Chas will be in her thoughts.

The Warner/Sedge family have had many challenging life-issues to face and rise to. Chas would be very happy to think that anyone attending his funeral or just caring people generally might honour his memory by donating to a very good cause: The DMD Trust. His grandson, Ollie (Oliver), Mandy & Colin's eldest son is a recipient of DMD (Duchenne Muscular Dystrophe).

Whether you may know the family or me or neither - please consider donating via Chas Sedge's memorial page to The DMD Trust - even a small amount to help achieve their memorial charity raising goal of £500. You can donate as little as a tenner which you won't miss if you let your hair grow longer like me (skip a visit to the hairdressers).

Here is the link to the donation page.

Thank you so much.

PS I will be making an anonymous donation.

Update Friday November 16th.:

Yesterday I went to Chas's funeral in Milton Keynes. It was a non-religious beautifully accounted event when everyone could share in a celebration of his life - his long and musical life. I didn't realise that he had played for Tony Blair at a No 10 garden party. It was sad to see his electric guitar placed near his coffin though. Unfortunately as I was travelling by train and very time restricted I was unable to attend the wake afterwards but it was good to express condolences and show my respects to Chas. I thought that his dear wife, Daphne, who herself had been ill, looked really good under the circumstances, and she herself aged 90 (he died aged 93).
