Hi to all our family and friends,

Because of the coronavirus pandemic and the restrictions placed upon funerals, this video of the service celebrating dad’s life was put together so that Lindsay, Jacki and other family members together with friends can still be part of our final farewell to dad.

Although a sad time having now lost Dad and Mum, it is with great fondness and love, respect and laughter we remember them both, a very special Mum and Dad.

We will be adding photos periodically to this website so that our memories of Mum and Dad stay with us. If you have a particular photo you would like to be included, please let me know. Thanks to those that helped with the video.

Speak soon. Love Mandy & Kev.
