The family of Walter Arnold Bewley (known as Bob) from Stanfield Road are sad to announce he passed away on Thursday 15th January, very peacefully at home, surrounded by his loving family.
Bob moved to Newton Aycliffe with his wife Margaret in 1952 and they had a son Colin who was born here in 1956 and is married to Christine. They have four grandchildren, Jessica, Katie, Paul and Shaun and three Great Grandchildren Jackson, Will and Sadie
Bob was well known on the town for his lovely gardens both at Washington Crescent where he lived until 2004 and then at his bungalow at Stanfield Road and many passers by drew great pleasure from his beautiful displays.
He won a Best Garden award for six years in a row the last being in 2014 when at 85 he still managed to create a stunning display. His family were very proud that all his hard work was recognised and his lovely displays will be greatly missed.
