Should have read Gentleman

Sadly missed. Had a few laughs over the years in the ACF...an Officer and Gentle

Seeing you struggle an fight till the very end was the hardest part to see, but I honestly couldn't be more proud to call you my grandad an great grandad to archie, we absolutely love & miss you so much.
I won't be saying goodbye I'll simply saying I shall miss you until we can meet again.
Love you so much grandad <3
The skys raised a kind an strong man, sleep tight Big grandad love jadey an archie xxx

Barry,you are one of lifes true gentlemen,your heart was so full of love for everyone,i thank you for letting me into your family and giving me the support when i really needed it.You will always be in the hearts of all who had the pleasure of being in your life, with love ,Deb &Martin

Letting you go grandad was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. You showed me how to be strong, you taught me the true meaning of family and overall you made me incredibly proud. The strength and fight you had in you was inspirational and I will forever be grateful for those final moments with you, in those moments you helped me find peace in this chaotic world. The 24th December was a day we lost a true gentleman, an absolute hero to all his family and an incredible man.
You will be dearly missed but forever live on in our hearts and memories.
Until we meet again Grandad, sleep well. Xx

Losing my dad has left a gaping hole that can never be filled. The legacy left by my dad will live on forever through my daughters, grandchildren and great granddaughter. My mum now has to try and live without the man who has been by her side for over sixty years. With the love of a devoted family we will all help with this. The world has lost a true gentleman, loving family man and most of all my hero. Goodbye dad, love you always

My dad was the best, my favorite person, my true hero. A hero to both me and my family. Dad I love you for fighting for so long. Yes, he was a gentleman, he was a proud man, he was all the wonderful things people are saying about him...but the most important thing to me is; he was my dad, Max’s grandad, and Millies “little grandad” Paul and Lauren thought the world of him, and he’s going to leave a huge hole in our family. We promise to keep making you proud. Good night, sleep tight, until next time xxx
