But most of all he was 'our Dad'. He was always interested in everything we did and “we” was very much his children, our spouses and his grandchildren. He was a very inclusive and equitable man. He challenged us; he supported us; he made us laugh. He threw himself into everything and was a great one for celebrating everything. His friends, work and involvement with the organisations detailed above were very important to him. He touched many lives and what he did in his life made a real difference to so many.
He will be sorely missed……… but the quick dash across the lawn, the slow bicycle race, games of Finance and discussions on where the A52 starts and the Derby Road end may be easier to conduct now!
