DOB 14. 5. 26. Died peacefully in the presence of his loving family, on Saturday, 23 February, 2013, at 14. 49 at La Haule Care Home, cherished father, father- in-law, grandfather and great-grandfather. We little knew when we woke that morn, The sorrow the day would bring, The call was sudden, the shock severe, To part with one we loved so dear. Sometimes it’s hard to understand, Why some things have to be, In His wisdom, God has planned, Beyond our power to see. In heaven dear Dad, I’ll find you, When God’s great work is done, I shall stand once more beside you, When it’s time for me to come. Loving and kind in all his ways, Upright and kind to the end of his days, Sincere and kind in heart and mind, Beautiful memories he left behind.
