Thank you for everything Dad. You guided me through life and I will never forget the valuable lessons you taught me. I have been blessed in having you as my Dad and I will continue to try and do you proud. Harvey got to spend nearly five years of his early childhood with his Grandad and will miss you more than you will ever know.
Love you Dad xxx
A golden heart stopped beating, hard-working hands now at rest, it broke our hearts to see you go, God only takes the best.
You will be greatly missed Dad, thanks for all you did for us. We will continue to try and make you proud of us in the same way that we are so very proud of you.
We hope you enjoy being a Grandpa to our late Daniel and we look forward to when we can all be re-united again, one day, at God’s will.
Love you Dad xxx
