Wyndham Edward Grist (3 Mar 1947 - 8 Dec 2017)

Hey Dad,

Just want to say that I thank you for being my dad, for bringing me into a wonderful family. There are so many fond memories of my younger years, from watching us play rugby, our holidays to trying to teach me how to play the guitar; Oh how I so wanted to play like you, the house just came alive when you played, the music was so beautiful, I used to listen for hours and never tire. You were my hero when growing up and I thank you for teaching me so much.

Home is where the heart is and you are home now, so go rest in peace, catch up with Nana and Grancha along with other family members. I will continue to wait patiently for us to meet again, to see you again, to speak to you again, to listen to your music again.

Good night and God bless, Love and Respect you always. You will always be missed, you will always be loved and you will never be forgotten. Most of all you will always be my Dad and for that I thank you x

Whyndam. What can I say. You invited me in to your life knowing nothing about me. You provided good conversation and the occasional free pint. You knew how to celebrate and have a good time. You knew how to love, plainly obvious when you and Zoe where together. A big man with a big heart. Whilst I didn't visit you as often I could, you never turned me away when i did. You are leaving a hole which nobody else could fill. Fair well my friend.

My darling Wyndham, I miss you so much, I came to see you today and you stayed patiently while I rambled on, cried and said all my things I had to say .
You lay in your Welsh shirt your boy got you for Xmas so proud and loving , I'm coming tomorrow to see you too
Everyone has so many good memories of you you were modest "what little old me" well yes little old you who touched so many
Your my soul mate and my heart is breaking but I'm trying to stay strong for you xx love you always xx Zoe

Wyndham you won't be forgotten mate

Hey pops
Every one misses you.
The Oxford family was built by you and it will carry on.
Ohanha means family, family means no one gets left behind or forgotten. I remember when I first made that picture for you and Zoe.
You will never be forgotten you made so many people smile and made memories we will continue sharing your smile and your memories for year more to come.
We will party,
Win games, lose them too,
But most of all smile for you
All our love
Nikita, Craig and Tash

Wyndham to one of the most respected man that anyone could wish to know happy jolly kind loving and caring I never did get some of your bikes but you always made everyone laugh and brightened up everyone's day we will all miss you and never will you be forgotten you always made everyone so welcome and you always did like the party so every time I walk into the bar for the party there will be a pint there for you too so sad that such a decent caring person has been taken but your no longer in pain we will all miss you rip huni and I'll look after Zoe for you x

Hiya Bamps,

You not being here anymore feels like a bad dream that I haven’t woken up from yet. Knowing that I’ll never hear you call me ‘your girl’ again or hear you tell me off for drinking all the Southern Comfort in the pub is heartbreaking, I’d give anything to hear your funny little laugh one last time.

I’m going to miss you so much. I’m going to miss staying up all night talking about anything and everything with you, I’m going to miss you bossing me about and poking me in the ribs. I’m going to miss cwtching you and winding you up all the time. I’m even going to miss you forcing me to wear your cowboy hat and sit in front of the tv with you watching those cowboy films you loved.

I wish I could have seen you one last time to tell you how much I loved you but I hope you know that you meant the world to me. I know you’re watching over me, probably moaning about how childish I am like you always did.

You were a pain in the backside but you were my pain in the backside. I love you and miss you and will never forget you.

Goodbye Bampi,
Lots of love from your favourite little angel x

Normally I'm not lacking in words , however I struggle to decide what to write .
You were inspirational , humourous and one of the most decent men I have had the honour of meeting .
The most honourable of gentlemen, a pure and golden soul .....
You will be so missed by so many ❤️
