Grandad, I can’t quite believe you’re not with us anymore but I stay mindful everyday of how lucky I am to have spent so many valuable years growing into an adult with an influence like you in my life. I will always be inspired by the gentleman you never fail to be and the unconditional love between you and Nana. Being missed so much is the cost of being loved so dearly and that you truly are, and forever will be. Wherever you are, I’m sure you’re still making up your own words to all the songs (which never fails to put a smile on my face) and I’m sure the birds are still singing with you. Love you Grandad, rest peacefully xxx

As far as fathers-in-law go, I couldn’t have been blessed with a better one. You treated me like one of your own, and for that I will always be grateful. I still can’t quite believe you’ve gone, but I know I will always speak of you fondly and carry the many lovely memories of you in my heart forever. RIEP Brian x

What can I say about Brian? He was a wonderful father-in-law, with a generous heart and big hands; a man of compassion, calm strength, wisdom, and a deep love for his family. He had a great sense of humour. You would often hear him singing the wrong words to a song, and it would always put a smile on my face.

You could often find Brian sitting quietly in the corner of a room, reading a novel, or peering through his binoculars, watching the birds feeding in the garden. And if he wasn’t there, he was probably at his allotment. He loved being surrounded by nature and wildlife, enjoying the peace and quiet before returning to the hustle and bustle of family life.

What endeared Brian to me most was the way he accepted me into the family with open arms, warmth, and kindness, and his quiet willingness to support others. Your absence is deeply felt, and I will be forever grateful for the many memories of love and laughter, and for the lessons you shared.

When I’m whiling away the hours in the garden, feeding the birds, I’ll think of you, Brian, with a big grin — and remember all the love and laughter you brought into our lives.
