I would like to inform you that Roger's body will be released from the coroner's office tomorrow and that Funeral arrangements can now be made.

I have therefore arranged for Roger to be Cremated at the Medway, Crematorium, Blue Bell Hill, Chatham at 1.40 on Tuesday 12th May 2009. His family will be celibrating Rogers life at this time and his friends [extended family] will be most welcome to join us in our farewells. Roger's ashes will then be scattered in the same glade as his mother and father at Blue Bell Hill. Please do not send flowers, but if you do wish to make a donation, we feel that Roger's beloved charity, the RSPB should be the receipient and I will try and ensure that such donations are directed into a project closest to Roger's heart.

After the funeral, you are also most welcome to join the family for a last drink at Roger's old haunt, The Good Intent, John Street, Rochester and my wife Rona and I look forward to meeting some of his friends in more informal surroundings on that occasion.

Thank you all again for your support and consideration.

Kindest regards

Rona and John Hope
