To Grandpa, Hope you've met up with Grandma and made her a brew with her fortnightly meal! Going to miss your judgement on my snooker outfits and buying me countless amounts of margarita pizzas because I eat one once, lived off those things for weeks when I moved in with you! The times have been tough but you smiled throughout. Gave us all a memory to hang on to. I love you and miss you more than I ever could have imaged. Goodnight God bless.

To Grandpa, The greatest storyteller. Always telling everybody about Saudi and all the places he "supposedly" visited. Hope you're already nagging at Grandma in the sky. Love you lots like jelly tots ❤️

To "Rich" a man I knew for 40 years a bit of an old rascal great storyteller, even I could I finish them off as I heard them so many times!!! You treated me as a son I loved you for that. I enjoyed our occasional nights out but overall you were a good man I never met anyone who didn't like you. I hope Yvonne & you have sorted which living room you have up there. Goodbye Richard it was a privilege knowing you see you mate.

Did I ever tell you about when I was in Calcutta? Every time we met Richard 😀. Tall stories from around the world. You always made me feel part of your family. I hope you are telling your stories in the clouds.

To Grandpa, I never knew what was true or not when you talked about but what was always true was how nice of a person, and more importantly, how caring and loving of a grandpa you were to me. It's sad to know that you're not around anymore and I'll miss you tons. I hope, wherever you are, you're now at peace. I love you
