17th May 1957 - 13th May 2020
It is with a heavy and broken heart that I must announce that my Dad passed away on Wednesday 13th May at 9:45pm.
Mum and I were with him as he took his last breath to one of his favourite songs. He looked comfortable and free of any pain.
Dad kept fighting for an unfathomable 4 days after being admitted to hospital on Saturday; defying the beliefs and estimations of hospital staff. He was brave until the end, as we knew he would be.
We told him how proud we were of him, how much we loved him and how much we would miss him - but that now it was time for him to rest.
We want to give our thanks to staff at UHCW who were so kind and attentive and worked so hard to make Dad’s passing as easy and dignified as possible.
Thanks to you all for your kind messages of love and support. They mean to world to us in this unimaginable time.
Thanks must also go to those of you who were there to offer your love, friendship and support to Dad until the very end.
He was a man rich in family and friendship; and he loved unconditionally. He was the most kind, selfless, generous, brave and strongest person I have ever known. He was the best Dad that Alex and I could ever have wished for and was the most devoted husband. He worked tirelessly to give us everything our family could ever need and we cannot imagine a world without his presence.
Please raise a glass for him tonight, he wouldn’t want us to be sad, but that is only because he would be far too modest to realise how much joy he brought to so many lives.
So, instead, please celebrate a life that was full of love and laughter. Let's all do our best to be like Dad - as frankly the world would be a better place. He will live on with us all and we will never, ever, forget him.
God bless Dad, until we meet again.
With all my love,
