Sad news indeed, does anyone have information on funeral arrangements?

Sad news -- Geoff Cox, owner of Ecton Mine ( a one-time
member of the UK's National Association of Mining History Organisations,
NAMHO ) who in recent years did much to
foster an interest in metal mining amongst schoolteachers
and, through them, their pupils, died this morning in
Macclesfield Hospital, after a long struggle against
Parkinson's disease.
A group were trying, with Geoff, to reinstate the position of
Ecton as a centre where mining and minerals processing
principles could be introduced, but today's news brings
further uncertainty as to Ecton's future.
Having known Geoff since we sat next to each other in "Determinative
Mineralogy" in 1950 when we were together
on the Mining Course at the RSM, I for one will miss having
him around.
