My lovely Dad Ralph, who sadly died last week aged 92 years, was a loving Dad whom I loved very much. He has given me so many wonderful memories throughout my life. It is a privilege to be his son and having him and my beautiful Mum Norah (née Newington) as my parents. My thoughts and prayers are with my Mum, four older siblings and all close family. We’ve lost someone very special, he is now asleep in death. I will miss him dearly, but look forward to seeing him and his lovely smile again soon.
