The best dad!

The type of dad every child deserves! One who was hands on, disciplined when needed, grumpy when tired and a big heart with so much love! His sense of humour was once one that I found embarrassing- from the dry sense of humour to the silly jokes made. He was always willing to teach and share his wise words. Sometimes with patience and other times with a lack of. Right up until the very end he was a man who loved hard, cared deeply, laughed often (he had the best laugh) and enjoyed life to the fullest! Dad, you are so very loved and so very missed 🤍
