Here is a note from Clive's daughter Kate with details of the funeral, donations etc.
Dear friends and family,
We are very sorry to tell you that Clive Lawrence died on Saturday 9 August after a long illness.
He was 69 and passed away 2 weeks after the birth of his first grandson, William.
He died peacefully with his wife, three daughters, two son-in-laws, grandson, and sister-in-law by his bedside. He had the best medical treatment and we are extremely grateful to the wonderful doctors, nurses and carers from Macmillan, the Wisdom Hospice, and Birmingham and Medway NHS trusts, for their support.
We would be delighted if you would join us next
Wednesday, 20th August to celebrate his life.
The funeral will be held at 1 pm (arrive 12.45pm)
at GARDEN OF ENGLAND CREMATORIUM, Sheppey Way,
Bobbing, Sittingbourne, Kent, ME9 8GZ

Master Brew at The Tudor Rose, Chestnut Street,
Sittingbourne, ME9 8BT from 2.15pm.
Charities
Rather than flowers, we would prefer donations to Rotary International, which Clive was a member of
for 20 years, through the John Weir funeral directors:

We are preparing a book of remembrance, and we welcome you to add a note to it on the day. If
you have one, please bring a photo of you and Clive together to add to the book or, if you are not coming on the 20th, you can email us your message and picture.
We will be making a short presentation at the reception which will concentrate on memories of
Clive. We would love you to share a short anecdote from your relationship with him, either
school, university, during his career, Rotary etc., please let us know by email, or on the day, and we will give you an opportunity to tell others.
RSVP
Please let us know if you are able to come to one or both parts of the event and, if so, who will be coming from your family or organisation.

If need to stay overnight, rooms are available at
the Premier Inn in Gillingham (around £75 per night, book online for the cheapest rate). Please let us know if you will be staying in the area as
we’ll be meeting friends and family in the evenings of the 19th and 20th.
