Thank you for being one of the most influential, inspiring, and kind individuals in each and every one of our lives. You were respected and looked up to by all of us, and you were a role model to all of your grandchildren, emboldening us to be the best versions of ourselves. You were always positive and happy no matter the weather, and you would always believe in the best of people, acknowledging and involving everyone around you. From teaching me how to ride a bike when I was 3 years old to helping me fix my car when I was 18 years old you were always there. A father to my parents, a grandfather to my brothers and cousins and a husband to our nan Kath for over 60 years; who I know you will be eternally watching and looking after. You have been and you will forever be a light that shines in our lives.
