Keith was a good man, a good husband to Pat, my English mother as I always call her, we cared for him during his predicament and his family was lovely especially his wife Pat who accepted everyone like her own, may God give his entire family the fortitude to bear this great loss 😭. Keith will be highly missed. Accept my condolences

Dear Grandad,

The last 21 years, I was blessed with the most amazing Grandad by my side everyday and I would never have changed that. You were one of a kind, funny, caring and the most down to earth person. Sometimes you said things which you shouldn’t but that made you the person you were and you were so loved for that.

I would like to say thank you. Thank you for all the memories and love you gave me. From all the holidays you took us on, all the restaurants you paid for, to all the times you picked us up from school on a Monday with grandma.

You had the most amazing send off which you deserved and there was so many people that loved you, from family, family friends, ex work colleagues to friends which you had from playing football.

Times may be hard Grandad but as a family we are sticking together. You raised ‘ your boys ‘ into the best men in the world. I am so grateful to have the most amazing Dad and Uncle who would do the anything in the world for me, Marcy and Ella.

I love you forever and always Grandad.

Until we meet again.

Grandad, thank you for all the love, kindness and memories you gave me. Your strength, kindness the way you used to torment me will stay with me forever; I couldn’t have asked for a better Grandad.

These last few years have been tough, however, I am so glad that I got to share some amazing moments with you, such as when I got my first horse, went to my year 11 prom, and when I turned 18.

Although this is a very sad time, we all find comfort in knowing how deeply you were loved and how many lives you touched with your kindness and generosity throughout your life.

We will miss your smile and your presence every single day.

You may be gone from our sight, but you will never be gone from our hearts.

Rest peacefully, Grandad. Until we meet again.

I love you always,

Ella.
