Farewell tribute to much loved former Scoutmaster and magistrate
The Scouting standard was draped over John Pleeth's coffin in recognition of his dedication
The funeral of a much-loved former Scoutmaster and magistrate took place last week.
John Pleeth, 79, from Bollington, died at Hollins Park Care Home on Thursday, June 11, following a long battle with Alzheimer’s.
His service was held at Macclesfield Crematorium on Thursday, June 25, from midday, and his coffin was draped with the Scouting standard.
He was recognized for his years of work as leader of the 2nd Bollington Scouts, where he was known for taking youngsters on adventurous but muddy walks and camps.
John was also a popular member of the Macclesfield Round Table and a magistrate who specialized in youth court work.
Son-in-law Steve Murphy said: “He had a great sense of treating everyone fairly and was known for being polite and calm. He was recognized as bringing much life experience into the courtroom.
“Scouting was always a big thing in John’s life. He loved activities such as the lads and dads camps he initiated and spent endless hours at the Scout Hall on Albert Road.
“He loved hill walking and mountain climbing. Despite the disease, John still lived life to the full for several years.”
John was born in London on the first day of the Battle of Britain but left with his mum Lydia and sister Barbara when a German bomb hit the house next door.
They joined his father in Bollington, who had moved there for work a few months earlier.
At the age of seven, he lost sight in his right eye in an accident with a bow and arrow but still managed to learn to drive and master many practical and DIY skills.
Car-loving John attended the King’s School and, upon leaving, began working in the automotive industry.
In 1968, he began working for ICI, which later became AstraZeneca, in Macclesfield and remained there for the rest of his working life.
He married his wife Mary in 1964, and the couple celebrated their golden wedding anniversary on July 25, 2014, shortly before John began needing full-time care.
The couple lived in Macclesfield and Tytherington before moving to Bollington in 2006.
John also leaves behind daughters Anne and Rachel and grandsons Matthew, Tom, and Lewis, all of whom he passed a love of the great outdoors.
Steve said: “John was a great family man who spent much time with his girls and was always incredibly supportive of their hobbies and dreams.
“He was a very practical man and built super doll houses, sit-on trucks, and farm and train sets with which the girls had endless hours of fun.
“Not to mention all the home improvements he did – there was no end to his practical skills. John was very proud of his grandsons, but sadly, they didn’t get much chance to spend time with him before his illness took a real hold.”
