Bob Witherden.
Dad or Bob, as most knew him, lived and worked in and around Upchurch and Rainham all of his life, farming and producing fruit and veg which he sold in his farm shops in Rainham High Street and Station Road between 1972 and 1987 before retiring to Upchurch to continue farming.
Dad worked up until about five years ago and has gradually passed all of his skills onto his son David, who continues to run the farm and produce Upchurch Strawberries, which we all love!
Dad always got involved with things going on in Upchurch, playing for the Football Team, running the Upchurch Marathon, serving on the Parish Council, Swale Borough Council and much much more.
Family, farming and Upchurch were his life 💕
You will be missed by us all so much - we’re all 💔
