The obituary notice of Keith ASHCROFT

I can't stop thinking about you Bamps, what I'd do to give you one last hug and kiss to tell you how much I love you... You were the best father and bampie in the world I could ever wish for... My hero.... I wish you had the chance to meet your great grandson... But thank you for looking after him for me... I love and miss you more than words could ever say, and I can't wait for the day I get to see you again... The baby will always know what an amazing man you were and if he grows up to be like you, I'd be the proudest mother in the world... I love you with all my heart and soul, your heartbroken grand-daughter xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I'm leaving this message on behalf of my father, John Thomas. He has commented a few times that he hasn't seen Keith around (they would often bump into each other at the local supermarket and catch up) and that he hoped that he was okay.But sadly I see that Keith has passed on. My father could not pay his respects at Keith's funeral so he would like to do it now. My father has known Keith for years, and has always said what a lovely bloke he was. Although they didn't see each other often, my father was very fond of Keith. He would always tell us what a fighting spirit he had, and marvel at how he always soldiered on, despite his illness. Our thoughts are with Joan and the rest of Keith's family at the loss of such a character, may he rest in peace.
