So many great memories we have of you Clive. Ones that we will talk about & treasure forever. Thank you so much for everything you did for us, especially for being a fantastic grandad (Clivross) always! The children are so blessed to have had you in their lives, they couldn’t have wished for more. For that we are truly grateful. 🙏 It’s hard to believe you are gone and to think of life without you here. To know that you are no longer suffering helps us. You will live on in our hearts and minds forever. Rest in Peace Clive. Love always ❤️

There's so many good memories, but one of the loveliest that I'll remember was when Clive came home one day and said, "I've got something to show you". I went into the back garden and there were two boxes. One had a mother hen and ten chicks, the other had two what we thought were ducklings but they turned into goslings and then geese. Clive said that he'd bought them from Penkridge auction because he heard someone say they were going to buy them to feed to the snakes.

We kept these for the summer period and Clive built a pen for the chicks and a little house for the geese. He even made a little hospital for a sick chick. Eventually, in the autumn, they went off to local farms.

Clive, you will be missed, RIP xx

RIP Clive xxx

RIP Clive, From Paul & family xxx

I remember the first day I met Clive, he walked into my office at work, introduced himself, sat opposite me and watched and listened to me work without saying a word, if that would have been anyone else I would have most likely felt on edge but I did not feel that way in the slightest, from that point on we weren't only work colleagues but friends and Stewart and I are blessed that Clive walked into our lives, I could write pages upon pages of memories and stories and adventures, one of my favourite memories that I retold when Stewart told me Clive had passed was the time he came to work with the biggest box of biscuits, I didn't need to know where they had come from 😊 but Clive asked what my favourite biscuit was, Jammy Dodgers was my reply, we then proceeded to have a very important meeting for 3 hours munching our way through several packets of biscuits amd copious amountd of tea, with strict instructions given that we should not be disturbed. Stewart and Clive always used to sneak off for Rhubarb crumble and Custard too 😊 and could make each other laugh in an instant, like 2 naughty school boys.

Clive always wanted the best for us, pushed you to be the best person you could possibly be, would believe in you when no one else would, he was one in a million.

Clive it was an honour and a blessing to know you. RIP xx

Clive, you will be missed by all those that knew and loved you, especially the grandchildren of which you were the best grandad to.

A huge character, always on the go. Going from one venture to another, to try and make some good money, but more so to help others. If I could only help a small percentage of people that you must have done, I’d be happy.

When I was teenager, Clive was always bringing home things that would catch my eye. It could be anything from a crossbow to 17 bottles of Champagne (sorry about that time me and my mates drank them all whilst you and mom were away!)

One of my favourite memories, and also Clive’s, was when he brought back home a Co2 powered pellet gun when I was 16. One night when alone at home, something spooked me so I grabbed the gun and took it upstairs. I was shaking and accidentally pulled the trigger and shot into my bedside drawers. Clive loved to remember that story. Really tickled him!

Clive, Rest in Peace. You are no longer in any pain and I’m sure you’re already having a good time with family that had gone before you.

Until we meet again, Chris X
