There are many Gentlemen in the world but we were lucky enough to have known you. Growing up living next door and having so many laughs at the stupidity of others was the norm. New Year parties and that fantastic soup and then home to bed, was the perfect way to celebrate. Then there was bonfire night, the huge fires we lit having used your garden to store the wood, I'll never forget it.
We've shared laughs and we put the world to rights across the fence. You've looked out for Mum and Dad as they've grown older and we always knew that with you next door that you'd keep an eye. You were even there just last Thursday when my Dad was ill in hospital and we chatted like we always have.
We can't believe you're gone, it'll never be the same. That smile and wave as we visit our Mum and Dad or that impromptu chat across the fence, it's gone but it'll never be forgotten.
Rest in Peace Keith, you've earned it and then some. It's not goodbye, it's see you later!
