Devoted and cherished husband of Juliet, wonderful Dad to Chris, father-in-law to-be to Melissa, much-loved son of Sarah and brother to Sally Ann, Robin and Mary. Taken far too young. Loved and missed by all his family and friends.

With tears we saw you suffer as we watched you fade away,

Our hearts were almost broken as you fought so hard to stay.

We knew you had to leave us, but you never went alone,

For part of us went with you, the day you left your home.
