Grandad was honestly one of the kindest and funniest people I’ve known. He always had a drink ready for me whenever I walked through the door and if it was empty, don’t worry, Grandad would make sure it wasn’t for long.

We’d often have our little drinks in the kitchen, sometimes when I was probably too young to be drinking, whilst everyone else was sat in the living room completely oblivious. Looking back, I’m not sure whether Grandad was being a brilliant grandad or a terrible influence… probably a bit of both! Love you loads, and I’m going to miss you, lots off love Jade xx

Uncle Roy taken too soon but now with his beloved wife Auntie Denise.
Always there when we were kids - holidays, weekends away in Blackpool, day trips to the Lake District and Isle of Man. Dropped me off in Wiltshire when I was working there when I was 17. A great all round funny, cheeky man - you will be missed so much!! Love and support to all the family xxx
