Remembering you knocking on the door and had completely forgotten I had invited you to dinner, But there you were you and Rena starving.

Made yourselves at home Whilst I went in the kitchen and panicked like you wouldn't believe. Was about to purchase a house with my then girlfriend ( a real bad apple) purchasing the house monopolised the conversation all afternoon but noticed you paying particular attention to my girlfriend. was a wonderful afternoon, loadsa laughs as always. you were fed you were watered you were leaving!!!!

no sooner had you left and got back home to Norwich then you phoned me, to tell me not to buy the house. you didn't think it was a great idea.

you never really elaborated on why you were saying this to me. but there it was Michael don't buy the house I don't think it wise. I explained that you hadn't long left why on earth hadn't you expressed this whilst you were here.

I later was to realise that you weren't warning me about the house but were definitely warning me about the girlfriend. you had watched her closely all afternoon and had seen what perhaps I hadn't. 

You may have been miles away but you were kind of watching me. I pulled out of the house deal not for any other reason other than my dad had told me too. I think maybe without you even realising it you had taught me so much.

in addition you taught me gardening, a degree of woodworking skills, You taught me how to laugh at myself as well as others. you explained what you were doing if I was ever fire watching in the cars as you were welding Not too much ***** water you would yell. I remember your pride as you took me and one of the neighbourhood friends in a drive in your Austin princess vanden plas after all it was well posh. You were skilled beyond belief even quite fluent in some real colourful language.

It has been an honour being with you, watching you, caring for you in your final hours.

The tears continually flow and my heart aches to here your voice and your laugh again.

you in a better place now. and can rest in peace knowing how much you meant to both myself and many others.

Love you and miss you so much.

Your son Michael
