Since I was a little girl, I always looked up to you and saw a big, tall, strong man. You were that to the very end. Resting now.
All my love Mellissa. XYou fought hard to stay as long as you could not ready to go. So many private moments spoken or just a look. You made me the person I am today and I’m forever grateful. You have been given your wings fly high. No more pain rest now dad.

You made me who I am today in more ways than I probably ever said out loud. The things you taught me, the strength you showed and the way you lived they’ve stayed with me and shaped the person I’ve become.
Even though we weren’t as close these past few years I want you to know it was an honour to be there with you till the very end. That moment is something I will carry with me always.
I’ll miss the times we spent together, especially duck shooting those memories mean more to me now than ever. I hope you’re up there smiling and at peace.
Our son your great grandson will make you proud. He’s chasing his dreams of becoming a pilot just like you always wanted to be. I’ll make sure he knows your story and the man you were so your legacy lives on through him.
I’ll miss you, Grandad.
Until next time.Grandad,
