Another Sad Day


Just a short while ago, I posted about attending my ex son-in-laws funeral.

And just this week, we attended another. This time, for a friend and colleague of my wife’s, from her days working at the Kenwood site in Havant.

Two funerals in quick succession, a dark start to 2024, had me thinking that, given my age, I shouldn’t be surprised. After all, I will be 72 this year, God willing.

But that’s not right. Yes, as we get older, we start to say goodbye to others in our age group however, neither Dave nor Ali are in my age group.   Dave was 56 while Ali was not yet 55. Too young by any measure, showing that cancer does not respect  age.

RIP Ali, my condolences to Martin and Cameron.

A Sad Day


Today, we attended the funeral for Dave, the father of my grandsons Danny and Ollie.

On 27th December 2023, Dave succumbed to the cancer, which had made him so ill.

Dave was well liked, and this was reflected in the number of friends, family, and colleagues that attended. It was standing room only in the chapel.

RIP Dave, gone but never forgotten.
