COX Denis Arthur (Beloved Hunts Coaches Driver) Passed away peacefully on 25 February 2021 aged 70. Denis originally from Sheffield, South Yorkshire worked as a coach tour driver for Shearings and Wallace Arnolds before joining the Hunts Coaches family. Denis married Joan in 2006 in Paignton.
They moved to Spain and Denis still had his hands firmly on the wheel as a delivery driver. When they returned to the UK Denis started to work for Hunts in April 2008 until he retired in August 2019. Denis was a loving, caring, gentle giant with a great sense of humour.
On our tour passengers said ‘Denis was 1st class’ and ‘Had many holidays with Denis, always a pro’. As a mark of respect due to the current funeral attendance limits the Hunts team will stand outside the depot on Station Road, Alford as the funeral possession passes just before noon on the 23 March 2021.
To the many friends and family, we wish that the loving memories of Denis comfort you. Joan has asked that instead of flowers donations be made to the Lincolnshire Wildlife Park.
