  • what a lovely photo of Finley and dad, he loved kids and was amazed how Finley could sort his tv out for him. He loved the visits and the chats about the good old days. Thank you for the time you sat with him.

So many happy memories of our time together as next door neighbours. Shouting Twink and Raymondo over the fence. Just chatting over the fence. Bet that fence can tell a few tales lol. Good times. Thankyou for allowing me to say goodbye Kim. To my godfather sleep tight and may you chat to Twink over a new fence now xxxx

  • Dad loved this day when his sisters came to visit. He loved that day talking about the old days and Birmingham and how it used to be. It was always lovely listening to the stories.
