Dearly loved husband to Heather, Dad to Esther, Matthew, Patrick and Jackie and Grandad to Gabriel, Maisie, Benjamin and Thomas. Brother to Marilyn and Milne and much-loved Uncle and dear friend to many.
Success
He has achieved success
who has lived well,
laughed often, and loved much;
who has enjoyed the trust of
pure women,
the respect of intelligent men and
the love of little children;
who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
who has left the world better than he found it
whether by an improved poppy,
a perfect poem or a rescued soul;
who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty
or failed to express it;
who has always looked for the best in others and
given them the best he had;
whose life was an inspiration;
whose memory a benediction.
