Love you thoughts with you all XXX

Few men are lucky to have not one but two father figures in their lives. One being my own father and another being my father-in-law, which is you. Both I love dearly. xx

I just want to thank you for being you. Such a special man in my life, you raised me as your own, and I’m still not sure who adopted who!! You gave up weekends to wander around Robinson’s looking at horse stuff - then took me back and forwards to the stable’s so I didn’t have to get the bus with all my tack. You never complained that I stunk to high heaven just did the little eye roll!! You never batted an eyelid when I pretended I had a box of eggs in car but they were really terrapins. You were such a kind man anything for a quiet life. I want to thank you for raising my children as your grandchildren, they absolutely adore you and will miss you so much. From children, grandchildren to great grandchildren you have taken us all in, and for that I will be eternally grateful. So many precious memories I will miss you so much. Bye for now I love you lots xxxxx

A special uncle/brother. Will be sadly be missed by all the family.
