To the worlds best dad.. Me, Daniel and Donna were always going to all turn out to be loving and caring people… we were raised by the best, you and mum!! I literally have mind full of brilliant memories with you, from shoulder carries, loading the Commodore 64 whilst you made cuppa, nights out at Xmas delivering cards house to house hoping we’d have snow as I knew you’d be dragging me on the sledge. To playing darts, snooker, scalextric together and soo much more. Great times as a kid helping you do work on the house to being my work mate in building when we were grown up, and being my cider buddy 🍻, all round memories, just endless great memories that are engraved in me that will last forever and will make me continue to try and be just a little bit like you, as no one could be anywhere near as good as you! One of the best memories stored was our trips to the tip where paddy would keep all the bikes through the week and we’d walk down on weekend picking 2 bikes, 1 for me to ride home on and 1 you’d push home to fix for me whilst I rode round the garden on our home made bmx course, completely priceless in itself but the quality time of a father and son in them moments created a priceless memory I’ll always hold. You had a way of fixing absolutely anything that was broke, and if I was struggling to do or fix something and said ‘I can’t do it’ you’d always say ‘there’s no such word as can’t’.. just that one liner and always reassuring me when I struggled with anything growing up has made me driven to realise you can do anything if you don’t give up.
Of course I’d turn out to be a builder having you as my role model and always showing me how to make and fix stuff so I thank you for everything and carving my future. I can’t thank you enough for making me the man I am today. I love you forever dad. Thanks for just being you ❤️ my #1, Love Ben xxx
