You were the most amazing grandad anyone could ever ask for. You taught me so much and brought me up to be the person I am today. You were an inspiration my whole life, both you and Nanna - I miss you more than I can even say. You're together again now walking on Scarborough front hand in hand, eating fish and chips... That's how I always want to remember you both.
You gave me a wonderful childhood. I hope we can give our children wonderful memories and so much love like you gave me.
Goodnight Grandad. I love you to the moon and back!
All my love, forever.
