Dad, you were a hard-working man, always able to make something out of nothing. You were a jack of all trades, expert of none was what you always used to say. It didn’t matter what the problem was, you always found a way to make it work. You were a very loving and caring man, always available to give a helping hand.
Your granddaughters will miss the sleepovers, making pancakes, baking & gardening with you, helping you with your chickens & pigeons and the bonfires in the back yard while roasting marshmallows under the stars. Myah enjoyed grocery shopping with you and helping you outside with various jobs you had for her.
You will always be in our hearts with great memories. Until we see each other again…
