The following is a message from John SEVERN to NARPO Members. It is self explanatory.
I am informing you of the death of John Harry DEAN retired inspector aged 81 on 13th August 2025 at City hospital. While John was not a NARPO member himself, but several of his friends and colleagues are.
His funeral will be at the Sherwood crem, Ollerton, at 4pm Friday 19th September 2025. Friends and former colleagues welcome.
John joined the County force and was Pc 367 I believe before becoming 1167 when the city county combined later in his service. John serves at Worksop, Blisthorpe, Newark, Southwell, Dishforth ( as trainer and course Inspector), Hucknall, and Mansfield before retiring. John worked mainly in uniform but was on Newark CID before being promoted to Sgt at Southwell.
John leaves wife Margaret, his daughters, grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
Thanks Rob Severn (son in law of John)
Our thoughts are extended to the family at this sad time.

I was saddened to read of Johns passing, he was my sergeant for a couple of years in the late 70’s at Southwell. A genuine nice man, practical in his approach to the job. We got into a few scrapes, had some laughs too. RIP John.

I first met John at Newark in 1970. He was a DC & I was a cadet.
My first posting in 1972 was to Southwell & he came there as Sergeant.
He was such a nice bloke. He guided me well & I learnt a lot from him.
We went our different ways but I remember those times with great fondness.
I seem to think the next time I saw him was on Bargain Hunt on the TV.
He always had a smile.
RIP my friend
