The family of Tom Harold Peel have asked us to share his passing with you.
Harold 84 years passed away peacefully on Friday 7th August in Currergate Nursing home where he has been a resident after suffering a stroke & being diagnosed with bowel cancer which he fought for 2 years until the urge to see his mother was too strong. Harold was the much loved Son of the late Florence, Loving Brother to the late Edward and Uncle to Allan and Angela who will miss him dearly.
Harold who lived his whole life in Embsay was well know too many on his daily walks up Brackenley lane. He was a quite man who just got on with his job (his life) tending to his sheep.
