I can’t put into words the pain and heartache that I’m feeling at the moment, but I do want to say thank you so much for being the best dad, father-in-law, Pop and Great-Poppy anyone could ever ask for.

We love you so much.

I was holding your hand when you left us and I will forever hold you in my heart.

Love you old mate.

My dad, my hero, so many words, but none would do you justice.

You were one in a million and I am so thankful that you were my dad.

A piece of my heart went with you the moment you left us.

Thank you for being the best dad, father-in-law, and Pop that anyone could ever ask for.

You will live on in our memories and we sure have plenty of them.

We will love you always and forever.
