Condolences
One of life's true gentlemen
In loving memory of one of life's true gentlemen. I have such lovely memories of our visits to the states, running around in the garden with Ashley and the little white dog before all sitting down to a huge spag Bol with Uncle Bob and Auntie Iris ❤️
I will never drink a Diet Coke without thinking about saving the ring pull!!
Rest In Peace
Love always, Ellis xxx
Such a kind and loving man
Such a kind and loving man who I feel privileged to call my great uncle. Although we are so far away, distance doesn't break the bond of family. The trips i have enjoyed to the states are such great memories I can hold forever.
I still have the special coins which uncle bob gave me on our last trip, and I'll never forget when he showed me his gun cupboard! Thanks for introducing me to peanut butter pretzels!
Love always, rest in peace.
