We will miss your cheeky wit
and that mischievous smile.
We could always tell you're mood by sound of your whistle.
You always spoilt us with chocolate fish ,one after another.
You were always in the garage making one creation or another.
But they were never for yourself
either us or another.
You have filled our homes with memories that are all around us
Ones that we will never forget
We will sit in your chairs and remember all the hours you had spent creating these special gifts and memories ,just specially for us
Our favourite memories
Would have to be

Those times you caught us
late night eating
...in the pea patch,
we would duck down and hide
And have a wee giggle
while you yelled and growled at us
With your beaming ear to ear smile ,
Because we all knew that
you had grown them specially for us

Or the family water fight
Completely out of character
You had to go one better
You launched that bucket of water
right up the inside staircase
But we will blame that one on your grand daughter
as im sure she pulled a face.
We will never forget that expression on poor freds face
Oh BILL you didn't!

Thank you for putting up with us because I know WE could be a pain .
And at the moment we are in pain
Because most of all we will never forget the way you made us smile.
We know we might not be at the moment
but we promise we will again
because we know this is what you would have wanted.
Not for all of this pain
We love you from the bottom of our hearts right up to the stars and beyond
Forever in our hearts
lots of love from your family
