My brother-in-law George was very fond of his brother Ron. I will always remember George driving to see us and taking Ron and myself out for a fish and chip supper and then coming in for a chat. Good times George, I will miss you, Doreen x

Today we say goodbye to Kelsey and Bradley's paternal great grandad - a lovely man who we had many great times with when the kids were growing up - he led a full life working and living near and for the old Arsenal football ground before moving down to Southend to live near his daughter when his wife died over 35 years ago - Grandad you were a legend and myself and Bradley will treasure our time with you last October for your 100th Birthday party - we won't be there to say goodbye today but we will come and have a chat at your place of rest soon.
Say hi to Jeanette and Ettie - love you lots Tracey & Brad 💐🦋 xxx

Dear Uncle George just to say all the family are sad to hear of your passing. The time we got to know you after dad found you again (Arthur) you were fun, carefree and a little nutty like us all and we loved you for it. May you be reunited with your loved ones once again and spread your wings <3 XX Arthur, Susan, Valerie, Peter, Barbara plus families

Pop welcomed me into the family when George and I married and I have many treasured memories of him during our visits to England over the last 20 years.

A life’s work well done.

Grief will let go eventually. And then I’ll remember
my dad as he was.

Now Dad will be with Mum and sister Jeannette.
The day will come when we will be together once more.

To a kind and dear family friend who gave me my first pay cheque, as a ball boy at Arsenal reserve games, all those years ago - OK it was only 40p in shiny 10 pence pieces which we used to gamble at half time by throwing them up against the West Stand wall but they were fond memories. You also used to drive us sometimes to our holidays at the seaside in your new car (it was always a new one), which we all appreciated very much.

Rest in peace Georgie Box. We will always remember you with much love.

Les, Dawn and family (Arthur and Val's son).
