Dad, the day you passed away left a massive hole in my heart. I didn't realise just how much I loved you til you left on your journey to the stars. Your never ending devotion to Mum, your children and grandchildren is a true statement of the man you were. Every time I write a list I'll smile as I will remember you. Love you and miss you so very much. Nigel & John.
Dad words can't describe how much sorrow we feel now that you've gone. You were the best dad/grandad ever and we'll never forget you. Love you always. Mandy, Adam, Robert, Matya, Natasha & Alicia xxxxxx
Dad, my rock and mentor, and a real gentleman, love you dad, Martin, Ju and family x
