Dad brought us all together and we learned all over agin how much love there is in this family. I am proud to be one of us. Dad was loved by so many people and he loved so many too. It;s all good.

I hope we can all be as fortunate as dad was to leave this planet as gently as he did, surrounded by the people and places he loved the most.

I was blessed to have shared the past few weeks, to see the sweetness that replaced his sometimes kurmudgeonly but always exuberant approach to life.

Thank you all who so lovingly cared for him, especially Karen.

On a walk up Putnam Rd on the day of his passing I saw a million forget me knots and those flowers will always remind me of him from now on.

Poem by T.S.Eliot

We shall not cease from exploration At the end of all our exploring.

Will be to arrive where we started

And to know the place for the first time.
