Love your AA 6th June 2024

Our dearest (great) great Grandpa. The most strongest, selfless, hard working and knowledgeable man. My children are so incredibly fortunate to have had you as their great grandpa. Here’s just a few of the memories we’ll tightly hold onto. Getting your toolbox when a child has a wobbly tooth, asking if it’s wet or dry water at swimming, a breakdown of how many years down to the seconds on our birthdays, a joke about the internet- “I only put my clothes on the line, do you mean a spiders web?” Lardy cakes, turning up and peering through the window, the master of supplying chocolate treats and ice cream money, playing ‘I got your nose’, always saying “I’ll wash up next time”, changing my battery and saying it’s “flat”, having a laugh at my sense of direction and telling me where to go even though you’re sat at home, Lady Godiva and getting me a flea collar. I’ll miss getting you a McFlurry and you saying how much you enjoyed it. Grandparents are a delightful blend of laughter, caring deeds, wonderful stories and love. You’re a true gentleman, a legend, our Gramps forever and always. Shine bright to “the young man of Earley”, “Thanknyou”.
