A funeral service for Malcolm Thomas Yates was held at All Saints Church Holme Upon Spalding Moor on January 3, conducted by Bronny Broadhurst.
Malcolm died peacefully in Hospital on December 22 2013 aged 58 years.
He lived at Weaverthorpe until he was 13 years old when the family moved to Holme Upon Spalding Moor. When he left school he worked on a farm and later worked at what was Northern Diaries until January 2011. He loved the outdoor life, spending as much time as possible at his caravan in the Dales and also visiting the agricultural shows, traction engine rallies and horse fairs, especially Appleby Fair.
Malcolm will be greatly missed by all his family and friends.
