George Vernon BLINCO

25/10/2021

It is with sadness that I have to inform you of the death at home on the 21st October 2021 of ex Sgt 171 George Vernon BLINCO, 88 years. Vernon as he was known lived in Sunderland. His next of kin is his daughter Mrs Diane Hunter.

Vernon joined the Derbyshire Police in 1963, after National Service in the Army. He retired in about 1988 and served in CID, C Division and Sgt at Shirebrook until retirement.

His funeral as been arranged for 2.00pm on Monday 8th November 2021 at Sunderland Crematorium Chester Rd, Sunderland SR4 7RS.

His daughter says that she fully understands that friends and ex colleagues may not be able to attend due to the distance involved but she asks if they could bear him in their thoughts .

Vernon was a CID legend in Chesterfield East always willing to help out uniform colleagues. A great colleague.

I work with Vernon at Police headquarters Ripley Derbyshire sometime between 1980 and 1990. Vernon worked in high court section myself in the forensic. It was always a gentleman and a pleasure to talk to. I regret not knowing about Vernon‘s passing until today, four years later, but he made such an impression surely it’s worth me mentioning it now. Rest in peace my friend… You served the Derbyshire public well
