I still can't quite believe all this .
I have had such a big blubber today ...poor Alison and the kids

I remember when my mum died ...he sent me a big bunch of flowers with the kindest words.
He could be grouchy, he could know it all, he could be pedantic, he could be brutally honest, he had a tale for every day - he raised eyebrows , smiles and the odd female pulse or two apparently

I / We will miss him ...it is an unfillable gap
