My Dad was a tough, but fair man, he did his best for me and my 2 brothers, even if at times it did not feel like it - a man cant do more than that.

I can remember at Dads funeral a lot of people said he was a "private" man - never one to really share his thoughts or burdens, I am a lot like him in that respect.

In later years he was my best mate, remembered every day.

Was also keen on motorcycles
