You survived so many periods of bad health due to your strength and determination.

You fought against the odds so many times and won but finally you could fight no longer.

I am lost without you and miss you so very much.

I will love you forever xxxxx.

Most big hearted, helpful, supportive and wonderful father and Poppa.

Life will not be the same without you and we wish that you were still here.

We were not ready for you to go but knowing that you are watching over us with Gran and Lily means we know you are always with us in everything we do.

Love from Tina, Mark, Molly and Lily xxxx.

The best Dad and Grandad any of us could wish for and an incredible man.

You were always there when needed, for the best cuddles and for a kick in the backside when needed.

I can’t believe you are gone, I will miss you every day.

We all love you so much, always.
