Saying goodbye and giving thanks today for having had such a wonderful , supportive and inspiring Father in my life .
Dad was one of a kind , he was never emotional but loved deeply and gave a hug with hearty back slaps! He was born 20.9.1929 a West Countryman in Plymouth Devon .
He had a tremendous mathematical and engineering mind gaining an MSC in both , a successful career in the RAF and British Aerospace, was a Man’s Man ,who though was adored by the ladies ,his heart was only ever for my Mum .
He loved to travel, the daily telegraph crossword , althletics ,rugby ,golf , and Lawn bowling in later life .
Boy! could he eat desserts and chocolate! Apart from his talents in sport he liked music especially old time Jazz and blues and musical theatre .
Most of all he loved us ,his family and was extremely proud of his Grandchildren and Great Grandson .
It’s going to be a sad day saying goodbye and we will all miss him terribly .
But today we give thanks for him having led such a happy, successful and incredible life .
Rest well now Dad for in all of your family you will live on ❤️
