Sincere sympathy from our family. Mr Whitehead was quite possibly a lifesaver for both my parents Jack and Dawn Wright. Regardless of where they lived there would always be a visit for a treatment and after retirement regular appointments to keep Jack mobile. Alongside the professional was a special friendship which I know my parents treasured.
A wonderful life lived very well indeed.
