Saying farewell to BIG TONE

As many of you know Dad died unexpectedly on the 22nd February after suffering a serious heart attack. After hours of discomfort and pain, doctors decided to take Dad to The Royal Brompton hospital in London to see whether he could have a life saving operation. Unfortunately on arrival, Dads heart stopped and they were unable to save him.

Not only has this come as a massive shock to myself and the rest of his family, it has come as a massive shock to everyone else who loved and adored him.

Dad was loved by so many and left a huge stamp wherever he went aswell as on everyones hearts. He was the life and soul in every room and never failed to put a smile on peoples faces. Whether that be his singing, jokes he told, or just his huge personailty.

Dad had many stories, many adventures and MANY friends. But he did not have many thoughts about what would happen if the day ever came where we would have to say goodbye. Probably because we all (including him) thought he was invincible.

But now that time has sadly come, and although he left us with some incredible memories he didn't have much else.

One of his last wishes was to be buried in Portslade, Brighton with his daughter Samantha.

As Im sure you can all appreciate, we would love to give Dad the send off he deserves and that he would have wanted. I am reluctantly asking if the people that loved him could please help us as a family and contribute to making this possible.

For our Dad, our family and your loving friend... BIG TONE
