I’m so saddened to have just heard about Jeff. He was a good friend of mine at the Collegiate and remember his footballing skills. My condolences to his family and friends.

Uncle Jeff… what d’you say?

It’s took me a while, because… what d’you say?
So I’ve done you a poem, lets call it ‘me way’,
To say sorry and thank you, and I miss you, goodbye,
You were one in a million, no word of a lie.
When I needed a sitter, I knew what to do…
Just pick up the phone ‘cos, “it can only be you!”
You’d look after them all, dogs, ducks and the hens,
Obviously pals, and clearly good friends.
And only occasionally would you drive through a fence…
(unless you were there, this bit don’t make no sense.)
Reliable and steadfast, and also a blue,
A perfect great uncle, yep, still talkin’ about you!
You were there with support, and I’m told, also with pride,
To be any better, you couldn’t have tried.
You were just what I needed, and just what I got;
Now there’s a void were you where, and I’ll miss you a lot.
Goodnight uncle Jeff, you really were great!
I’m glad you were here, an’ ‘am glad your me mate.
Now there’s just one last thing, before I run on for too long…
I won’t miss your socks ‘cos they really did pong!

So very sorry Liz that you have lost your soul mate, your best friend and the love of your life.
The lovely memories you have of Jeff will bring you great comfort as will the love and support of your family and friends
