We are so lucky to have had so much time with our grandfather, and Alfie's great grandfather. We will always cherish the time Alfie had to spend with you, and the fun we shared. Our memories of you will live on in his laughter and that of everyone who knew and loved you.
You were right-there was one ripe tomato in your garden and we shared it as a family-cheers to you.
