This is my dad. My hero. He did everything right. What a sweet loveable, funny cherished man. A dear father. Much loved by his 10 children ( my siblings ). I will always miss him.

His Daughter.

Great big voice, great big heart. Hands outstretched to grasp and kiss a grandchild's head, to greet a friend, to make the concertina sing. Lovely, lovely man, so glad the kids had a grandpa like that!
