Jade's tribute read at her grandad's funeral 8th May 2011

You were a truly special person and I couldn't have ever asked for a better granddad. You always made me smile and I remember as a little girl Cally and I would excitedly wait fro you to arrive for Sunday dinner and would watch you parking out of the window - something that we always found amusing! You would come through the door smelling of Melrose and mints and give us a great big hug. You always asked how things were at school or work and I was always so excited to tell you any news, and even though you are no longer here I will always hold a special place for you in my heart. Words really can't describe what a special man you were and I'm so grateful for the many happy times we shared. I miss you so much already.
