Hi Jude,
your Dad was my oldest friend. We met in the 70’s when we lived in Forsbrook and I was lucky enough to stay close to him for the next 40 years. There are so many stories shared with you on this site by other close friends and I won’t repeat them … but needless to say you can see Dad played a big part in the big stories of our lives. He was a wonderful man .. Kind, funny, loyal, honest and hardworking .. And always with a huge smile. He was immensely proud of Mum and you, loved you both very much and spoke about you always.

I miss him dearly but like everyone else feel honoured to have called him a close friend.
