Uncle Fred,
I have the fondest of memories of Saturday evening buffet tea in the parlour, bumping into you in Stoke when you were street sweeping and whislting merrily as you walked along. Also the best of memories with the caravan holiday in Talacre with mum and dad.
Always the kindest of men, with the brightest smile.
A wonderful man who was loved by everyone who knew him xx
Fly free mr ball (fred), ill call you Mr ball because you would of clipped ne round the ear hole if I’d called you Fred lol , I always remember you from me growing up being friends with Patricia, rip, fly high and fly free 💙
Dad
Thank you for everything, people often say that their dads are the best but you truly were. You taught us all to be strong, independent and to stand up for what’s right.
You battled and battled but it was time for you to fly high and be at peace. You have left a massive hole but we will speak of you fondly and often, you will never be forgotten.
Love you always
Jo

Just a little poem to leave behind:
Forever in my heart and memories💙
It’s been the hardest thing to lose you
You meant so much to me
But you are in my heart Grandad And that’s where you’ll always be I know that Heaven called you But I wish you could have stayed At least the memories I have of you
They will never fade
I did not want to lose you But you did not go alone
Because a part of me went with you When Heaven called you home
So just remember one thing
We are not apart
You’re with me in my memories And in my broken heart
This is not goodbye I will see you one day soon
LOVE YOU ALWAYS GRANDAD 💙xxxx
