Melksham & Devizes Conservative Association is very sorry that sadly Robert Hunt-Grubbe has passed away following a short illness.
Robert was a wonderful supporter of our party and our values. He and Julia were very active over many years with the Devizes Constituency Association, and he was delighted to accept an invitation to be President of the newly formed Melksham & Devizes Association. Meanwhile Robert and Julia continued to support the East Wiltshire Conservative Association and enjoyed being members of Danny Kruger MP’s Patrons Club.
Robert was also very active in Potterne where his family have lived since the 15th Century, and the wider Devizes Community. He was a great supporter of a number of community organisations including the Assize Courts Trust. And he continued to be a Potterne Parish Councillor, and was re-elected in May. He is remembered by many who worked with him as a very kind and generous man. As a member of Potterne Parish Council Planning Sub Committee - his analysis of local planning applications was forensic.
Our thoughts are with Julia and his family and friends,
Brian Burchfield
Chairman MDCA
