My dad Tony Faulkner loved motorbikes, especially classic British machines. They played a big part in his teens and twenties and in later life he enjoyed pillion rides with me on a variety of different bikes.
 
He was very appreciative of the work the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity does, especially for bikers, which is why I’m asking anyone who would like to donate in his memory to do so via the Just Giving link. 
 
Dad died suddenly of a heart attack aged 74 earlier this month. His funeral service will be on Thursday April 25 at Stourbridge Crematorium, South Road, at 1.30pm. This will be followed by a wake in Stourbridge Town Centre at The Talbot Hotel's upstairs function room, which is booked from 2pm until late. There will be live music throughout, with family friends Demitri Robinson on acoustic guitar at the Crem, and singer-guitarist Louis Bennett playing at the wake. There will be food and tea and coffee available, and the upstairs bar will be open.
 
Our family would love to see as many of you as possible at the funeral and wake, whether you knew Tony well, or whether you’re closer to Lesley, me, Dale or dad’s brother, Arthur; we’d all really appreciate your support. Everyone will be made most welcome.❤️
