Thank you to everyone who came to the service yesterday ❤️
Thanks also to those who left messages, candles, photos and donated for Dad online... and those who donated at the service yesterday this is the total from you £50. Dad was a big supporter of all Cancer fighting charities and over the last 8 years he donated monthly. He would be really grateful of the support you’ve given to Bloodwise. Thank you so much. Xxx

Words just can’t do you justice, you were one of the most caring man I had the privilege of knowing. Thank you for all the bacon sandwiches over the years and the cream cakes. You will be greatly missed and so will your jokes.

Forever in our hearts.

Love Kelly and Marion xx

Dear Daddy, I still can’t believe that you’re gone! I know that you will be with me always in my words and actions... but I just wish I could still hear your voice, see your smile, hold your hand and even have you moan at me about the quality of my tea!! You will be forever missed and forever loved! Thank you for everything that I am! Until we meet again... xxxxx

I have no words mate. I hope to play 18 with you again sometime, and will see you Thursday. Whenever I call someone a rude word out of road rage again, I will smile and think of you. Example someone passing your car on a bike..."look at this f#=*~r, about to take my f@#+ing wing mirror off!". 😎 love you buddy.
