Word has reached us of the sudden death of veteran retailer Jeff Pumfrett, owner of high-end guitar store World Guitars in Gloucestershire and former owner of Machinhead Music in Hitchn.
A post on World Guitars’ Facebook page said: “Jeff suffered a heart attack a few days ago and in spite of all the good work of the Doctors and Staff at the Bristol Royal Infirmary, he never recovered. Our thoughts and sincere condolences go to Jeff’s family, his lovely wife Lilya, his Brother in Law Vitalik and Stepson Tim.
“Jeff loved guitars and working alongside him here at World guitars, and previously at Machinehead Music, was always fun. Jeff’s wish was for World Guitars to continue its mission to offer and be “the best of the best” in Guitars, and you can rest assured we will work harder than ever to honour his memory and keep World Guitars as the #1 High End Guitar Retailer in Europe, and hope you will continue to help us.”
The funeral will be on Friday 27th November at The Forest Of Dean Crematorium Nr Cinderford, Gloucestershire at 12.30pm. It is open to family and friends. The family have requested no black and no flowers.
