The funeral of former Yorkshire carpet retailer Terry Muggeson is to be held on 4 November.
The former owner of T&A Carpetworld in Scarborough for more than three decades died aged 85.
The funeral will be held at St Mark’s church, Scarborough at 1pm on 4 November. A wake will follow at East Ayton Lodge after a family and close friends only cremation. The family has requested no flowers.
‘Dad was a very well-known and respected businessman in the Scarborough area, mainly due to having a retail carpet shop for over 30 years in the St Johns Road, says his son Andrew, who runs T&A Flooring in the town (pictured).
‘He was very skilled and had a mountain of knowledge in the old school methods of carpet fitting which I’m grateful was passed down to me. He used to sit for hours and sometimes even days hand sewing carpets together. The skin on his fingers were like rocks from pushing endless needless back and forth through the carpets.’
