At the age of 93, John Grantley 'Jack' Hagerty died on the 31 January 2020. He entered service in 1948 and retired in 1977. A no nonsense policeman and sergeant and a legendary figure in the Force in his time.

His funeral is taking place at 12.15 pm Monday 24 February 2020 at St Peter’ s Roman Catholic Church, St Peters Street, Roath, Cardiff CF24 3BA. I understand there is plenty of parking available.

A further service will take place at Thornhill Crematorium, Cardiff at the Briwnant Chapel.

If you want to attend his funeral, his daughter Jean has asked you to let her know on 07814 513908.
If someone wants to co-ordinate numbers attending and then make one phone call to Jean, let me know and I will circulate.
Also, if anyone has any information on his wife, Olwen, I would be pleased to know.

If these sort of updates should be sent to someone else, apologies as I haven't kept abreast of changes so perhaps you would be good enough to pass the information on to the appropriate person.
