Passed away peacefully at the General Hospital on Thursday, 30 August 2018, aged 69 years, after a short illness, beloved son of the late Joyce and Bill and much-loved brother of Sheelagh, Lesley, Martin and the late Michael. He will be sadly missed by Mary, Chris, Jane and all his nieces and nephews. A life well lived.

Much-loved Dad and Pops. In tears we saw you sinking, We watched you fade away, You faced your battle with courage, Your spirt did not bend, You kept on fighting, Until the very end. So when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful and pain free, We could not wish you back, To suffer that again. ‘See you later Machin’.

Those we love don’t go away, They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear.

Cheers away, Andrew, Michele, Natalie and Jo.
