So many memories of the years spent enjoying time with you, I’ve realised looking back what an impact your kindness and genuine friendship had on my life, I will carry your advice and stories with me for the rest of my life and continue to share them with others, you truly were a rare type of friend and I am so grateful to have had you in my life.

Watching you weld through a spare mask was a favourite, few got to see your skill up close. I could never match it no matter how hard I tried.
You had the best sense of humour and ways of making time at work fun with your sayings, nicknames and positivity.

Now I know why the Jiskoot truck meant so much to you, those trips must have been great, I loved that thing too and remember taking trips with you before the cambelt finally let go and I bought it off the firm as a project to rebuild.

I treasure the things you gave me over the years, including your favourite spanners (they really are incredibly good) and micrometer when you retired, and the tools you helped me make in my apprenticeship that I still use today.

You leave an incredible legacy of family and friends.

I’ll miss you.

Remembering nearly 30 years of working with Eddy at Jiskoot’s, particularly his cheerful approach to everything I threw at him, particularly new weld procedures, and not forgetting his singing!

Ed , just the saddest news your no longer with us - you were just the best husband, dad and grandad , who was soo proud of them all, that was clear for all to see - you had a real soft spot for Maisie and it was soo lovely the way you were with her , very few got her quirky ways but you didn’t once question it . You will be missed by all that knew you .
Carley , Stu , Leah and your Maisie x

My Dear Brother,

You were always there for me. Thank you for teaching me to be patient when helping me to do DIY. You always told me what to do with a laugh. We will miss our Sunday coffees in the garden with Gino running around. They won’t be the same without you.

You’ll always be in our hearts.

Love Bill and Claudia
