Condolences to you Shirley and the family.
We were very sad to hear the news.
My minds eye can still see his strength and grin. He always had that cheeky look on his face, always at ease and cheerful. I have lovely memories as a teen staying at the farm with Shirley and Ken when the kids were small.
Will never forget those days.
It’s hard losing a loved one but I hope his warmth and smile will stay in your hearts and always be your companion.
Love to you all.
