My Da,

Irish man, sailor, motorcyclist, do it yourself guy, husband, father and all round top bloke, who didn’t suffer fools gladly but loved a daft laugh.

His words to me about what to do with his ashes were “I don’t really care as I will be dead!” So we put the bulk of his ashes in Lyme Bay as that’s where they retired to, some off the harbour in Carrickfergus as that’s where he grew up and the last wee bit in this here brick.

I think he would have appreciated all 3.

Loved deeply by family and friends.

Gone but not forgotten.

My hero and anti-hero in equal measures.

Much love Big Man.
