My Dad was a man of very many parts. Some will remember him as an airman, some a prison officer, and others will remember him from the County Council. He will be remembered as a cyclist, boxer, cartoonist, artist, gardener, carpenter, genealogist, jazz enthusiast, Crystal Palace fan, marathon runner - the list is almost endless and he seemed to excel at everything. But I will remember him as a great family man - a wonderful and caring Dad, Grandad, Great Grandad and above all husband to my dear Mum, Edna. Thanks for everything Dad. With lots of love from Keith and Ellen.

Hello Sir,

Ive always called you that ever since you kindly showed me the moon and stars through your telescope when I was a school kid. I don't know whether you will read this. No one actually knows. Fortunately we have thanked each other many times in the past for the kindness we have shown each other so I suppose it doesn't really matter if you miss this last thank you. Thank you for being the witty, kind person you are even though your many health issues in later life would have sank lesser men to their knees. You have left me with lovely memories. I will never forget you because the twinkling stars and the moon will be there to remind me of your broad light-me-up smile, just like that schoolkid saw 50 years ago. Farewell Sir. xxx

My Grandad was always someone I looked up to my whole life. I hope to be even a fraction of the man he was. I wish I lived closer to all my family as I grew up, but talking to him on the phone always brought a smile to my face and joy to my heart. Not having him around anymore is very sad but I'm glad he isn't feeling pain anymore. My children Aston and Anya are happy they saw him at home and will remember him forever as the warm and loving man I knew. We all miss you Grandad. Love to you forever. Adrian, Aston & Anya Boulter
