In loving memory of Kenneth Glover who sadly passed away on 7th December 2019. Ken was a man who loved to share a story...and many were told in his 81 years. Stories from his National Service days with the Sherwood Foresters where he went to Malaysia and Singapore to days he cherished with family and friends. Rallies and old cars, Market Street memories and stories from his days working on British rail and drinking times in the Staff. Not to mention memories of him singing Danny Boy. Ken was known and loved by many and will be sadly missed❤.

Dad it's been a while since you passed but I know we did you proud at your wake. You gave me the strength to get through your poem and the service was just you to a t. I'm sure you smiled at the four of us in Liverpool shirts too. There were many people turned out to say their goodbyes and that proves how loved you really are. Rest in peace now and keep sending us your signs. Xx

Dad
I know we always argued and had our moments but shared some happy memories too. I will always remember you tinkering with cars and I suppose I got that from you. You offered to provide help and support even offering to move wardrobes when you struggled to walk around the house, but that was you. I will always think of you at Rallies and will never forget you when hearing Danny Boy. Memories of Pals club outings are still with me. All my love Mick x

Grandad you was such a funny character, such a kind person always thinking about everyone else before yourself even right to the end. We have many great memories that i will never forget, from when i came home from school and you would take me to the old car and we would pretend we was going to Skegness. i will also never forget are many chats about football from when Liverpool wasn't doing so well to now i know your smiling every time they win definitely the biggest reds fan. As you know you would never catch me wearing a Liverpool shirt but the one and only time will be on Friday just for you. Thank you for all the memories and endless laughs. i will miss you so much, love you grandad xxx
