Mr Gething died in Bury Hospice last Friday. He leaves a wife and two sons. He lived in Kay Brow, Ramsbottom.
He had run the fashion shop Captivating which was based for many years in Silver Street, Bury, before transferring to Bolton Road West in Ramsbottom three years ago.
He also represented Bury at meetings of the East Lancs Consortium of Chambers of Trade. A funeral service will take place at Overdale Crematorium on Wednesday at 1pm.
