Grandad Al is so special, he is so loved.
I have the loveliest memories of going to visit him with my sister Tahlia, he was the ‘adventure grandad’.
From telling us tales of UFO’s, to long walks in the woods, to crabbing along the rocks and splashing about in his home made swimming pool in the garden, our visits were always full of fun and adventure.
I definitely acquired a good taste in music because of him, I remember singing along in the car to “Star man” by David Bowie and admiring his collection of guitars.
I’m so glad Florence my daughter got the opportunity to meet you, and although my new baby girl arriving in December sadly will not, both my girls will always know of their Great Grandad Al, the ‘adventure grandad’.
I love you Grandad, you are so so missed. 🤍

Time for me to go now, I won’t say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, way up in the sky.
In the morning sunrise when all the world is new, just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.
Time for me to leave you, I won’t say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, high up in the sky.
In the evening sunset, when all the world is through, just look for me and love me, and I’ll be close to you.
It won’t be forever, the day will come and then, my loving arms will hold you, when we meet again.
Time for us to part now, we won’t say goodbye; look for me in rainbows, shining in the sky.
Every waking moment, and all your whole life through, Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.
Just wish for me to be near you, and I’ll be close to you. 🌈

When I think of my Grandad Al, I will always have many fond memories. He loved cooking and I remember one time he spent what felt like 6 hours on a chicken curry, we all had a giggle when it finally arrived at the table. He loved his scrabble shed and me and Georgia would visit most summers and craft in the scrabble shed whilst eating knickerbocker glory’s. They were delicious and a particular speciality of grandads. He was quite the craftsman and instead of buying a paddling pool for us in the summer, he made one out of old wood he had and some tarpaulin. Me and Georgia thought it was the best thing ever! He would always take us on walks to Rendlesham forest and would tell us stories about the UFO’s. I loved those walks and the stories he told us. On the way back in the van, he would play ‘Ernie’ by Benny Hill and myself and Georgia just thought it was the most hilarious song ever. The van would be filled with laughter all the way to the house, and Grandad was made to play the song on repeat, which he didn’t seem to mind! Although his great grandchildren Ettalie and Florence never got the opportunity to meet him, they will know all about their Great Grandad Al, how special he was and all of the amazing memories he gave their mummies whilst growing up. Rest in peace Grandad. We love you and will miss you so much 🤍
