  • Yes, lunches out were always fun, playing up the waiters and chatting to other customers. Always fish and chips and apple pie and custard as the safe options. Bless you dad. xxx

Dearest Uncle Bill, I will miss you so much.we had weekly chats on the phone and we chatted about all sorts! We would laugh and put the world to rights. I loved hearing the story about when you and my dad were evacuated together.You gave me such comfort after my dad passed away you sounded like him too. I will really miss our chats. You had a heart of gold and made me smile.
May you rest in perfect peace surrounded with your loved ones. God bless you xx
