MARTIN, Allister Paul Granville.

We are heartbroken to inform family and friends of the death of our most beloved Dad on March 12, 2018, aged 68.

He has set sail on his final voyage, with the wind in his sails. He fought bravely to the end.

A father who taught us how to be adventurous. An inspiring and creative man who touched many lives in his resourceful and visionary life.

Now at peace.

Most cherished Dad of Ben, Sarah and Matilda. Beloved husband of our darling Mum Jill (dec). Son of Reginald (dec) and Rosalind (dec) Martin.

Loving father-in-law to Theresa and Julius. "Dangrad" to James, Sam and Gretel and "Googa" to Ella.

Brother to Wendy and Roger and brother-in-law to Brian (dec), Faye, Sarah and Andrew, Wendy and Robert, Tim and Hellen, Mary and Michael, Margaret and Andrew.

Enthusiastic uncle and great-uncle to all his many nieces and nephews.

Faithful companion to Cobber, the Dog.

"Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."

Kenneth Grahame,

Wind in the Willows.
