Rest in peace Dad, A true man who always inspired me & many others who knew him well. I'm in your debt for helping me in so many ways, even in your later years, I always looked up to you & your life's experiences & adventurous pursuits. Unique in so many ways , A proud man with self belief & bravery to avoid the trap of crowd mentality & what people think. He had self believe & above all self respect for himself as a man. I'm gonna miss you Dad & i already do , but you will be part of me forever & our fond memories of years gone by. Always happy to be around family, & a passion for old cars & loved East Kirkby air museum. You did your part to make this a better world & that's all anyone can try & achieve, You were blessed throughout your long life & passed away peacefully without suffering. You're in so many peoples hearts & minds & we'll meet again someday , Love you so much Dad, our thoughts to those left behind & coming to terms with not physically conversing & being with you.
All our love , respect & gratitude
Dave , Lucia & family ❤️❤️
