You would be turning 50 on Monday but five years ago you were taken from us.

Son, father, brother, uncle and friend – your wicked sense of humour and immense generosity were loved by all. Remembering you is easy; we do it every day, but we still can’t believe you’re gone.

Know that you are greatly loved, deeply missed and will be celebrated with Mum on your special day.

Love forever, Mum, Pops, Mi, Sam and Ali
