I was so fortunate to have met you Maurice. You were so kind to me when I came to stay and I really enjoyed our chat. Love and condolences to Donna and all the family, RIP, Rachel and Chris xxx
Very sorry for your loss... couldn’t have asked for a better neighbour growing up. A really top bloke who always had time for us and never got angry even when I smashed the shed window! Lots of love, Jack, Kara and Ella x
Thank you for all the love and support you gave to me over the years. You’ll be sadly missed x
Thanks for being such a wonderful neighbour through the years while we grew up and for not getting too angry when I smashed your shed window with the football. Lots of love Jack, Kara and Ella x
It was a very sad day when I heard about your passing. I will always remember how great you were with me and my brother since we were babies, we couldn't have asked for a better role model and Grandad. It's a shame we didn't see each other so much in the last few years but I knew you always supported what I was doing and I always appreciated how interested you were in my new life. Love you always, Grandad. X
So sorry to loose such a fantastic neighbour of 33 years, must have borrowed every tool you possessed over the years and you always had the tool needed that's the navy training for you, you will be very much missed by all the family especially Millie who is still looking for you & thank you for all the biscuits !!!

Sorry to hear about your Dad, Donna. He sounded like a true gent from everything you’ve told me about him and I’m sure he will be much missed by all of his family and friends. Wishing you and your family all the best. Thinking of you, Ciara xox
I am so pleased to have met Uncle Maurice in Nov-2018. Fond memories of him "guarding" us on the streets of Newton-Abbot like we were little girls. Every child remains a child in the eyes of a loving parent. Home is where love is. You are home, Uncle Maurice, rest in peace.
Deepest condolences to Sonia and Donna. xx
