Dean

Dad,

Although we grew up with the tales of your heroic past, we never thought your day would come so soon.

You were more than a father, you were our best friend, teacher, mentor, story teller but most of all you were our hero.

We will forever be grateful you were our father and you will be dearly missed.

Lots of love, Rachel, Sophie, Tegan, Michael, Kane and your grandson William
