So many memories Dad, I dont know where to even start as it's still so hard to believe you are no longer with us😢😢 you were the one my brother and me looked upto as the head off our family along with all your grand children and great grand children..so many looked upto you pop but I want to remember you as always being there for my brother and me along with mum to whom you gave the earth till your final days. The love you and mum shared was unbreakable and always will be.. as a kid you took me everywhere in your lorry across the continent we travelled near and far, you always made sure I never went hungry and would go without yourself so I could eat even when we went on the ferry (Townsend Thoresen) I would spent most of every half term and 6 weeks holiday with you enjoying the ride, scenery and to be with you! As a young lad you took me to football and watched me play..even getting sent off by the red from the sideline 😂😂 god bless you..always there every step of the way for your family. Even taking Kevin my oldest best friend on as 1 if your own as we were buggers together😂😂.growing up we all shared being woken up early on a sunday morning with band of the royal marines and the smell off bacon and a good old fry up! My brother and me would go the pub every Sunday with you when we were aloud..😊you even took me on a boat trip with all your boys (drinking buddies)when j was 16 all mum said is what have you done to him 😂 then when I was older I tried to get you drunk at the British legion which ended bad for me being put in a taxi around 7pm and you coming home when last orders were had around 11.30 in those days..so many to list Pop but I want to remember you how you were..you helped me when I joined freighliner and the port as a young lad/man always there giving advice just being a bloody good dad! From having my kids to getting married..taking me for many appointments when I was in the police as a special helping me move to many to list pop..basically you were and are an amazing Dad that we all loved so very very much and you will be sorely missed by us all. Thank you dad for being the best dad ever and always being there teaching us the skills to become men/fathers ourselves you gave us the tools and its upto Wade and me now to carry on your amazing legacy...I could carry on but those that knew dad knew what an awesome helpful wonderful man he really was..Rest in Peace now dad and no more suffering hey..love always TJ xxxx
