Dad, I will never forget the night you made Jake scared. The night you locked yourself out during the winter. You walked all the way from New Brighton to our house in your pyjamas and old slippers at about 3 in the morning. I could hear knocking and woke Jake up, you knocked for ages on lots of the windows and Jake kept saying don't answer it. No-one would knock this late. And each time we checked out the window we couldn't see anyone. In the end at about 4.15am I opened the door to Jake telling me off about strangers and you were there. You were frozen to the bone and so grateful we eventually answered. We all cuddled you to warm you up, grabbed blankets too and you stayed over that night. I'm so glad you came to ours that night and that I answered (in the end). You were like a dad to me. You treated Gemma and I like your own children. Your love was unconditional for us all and we will never forget that. You taught us all so many valuable lessons that we will pass down to our own children. You were so fun to be around and we loved you living at ours. I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart that you raised such gentlemen in Jake and Cameron. They are kind, considerate and loving with whit just like yours. We will love and miss you always and forever. You are gone now, out of pain but you will never be forgotten and your grandchildren will always know who you were. I love you dad, you were the best! Sleep tight 💔💔💔
