*****

Somewhere beyond there is a garden, I will meet you there. – Joy

*****

A kind and generous man who was loved and respected by many.

Dad had a sharp wit and a love of nonsense and fun, who loved to tinker, fix or build anything.

I’ll always remember you in your workshop, smell of coffee percolating,

singing away while wearing one or three of your many hats.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, patience and time.

We were lucky indeed. – Lisa

One of Life’s good guys
