Ron………..I’ve shed a few tears for you over the loss of Granddad. He was a terrific man and I have enjoyed meeting him over the past few years. A lot of times, we hear that people have regrets over the lack of time they spent with their loved ones. You, however, have been one of the most devoted grandchildren I have ever witnessed. And it was so obviously not from duty but by a pure love towards this man. Your friendship with your granddad is an inspiration to me. You’re a good guy Ron……love you………..Corrie

We met Geoff and Dilys nearly 20 years ago at Val Rose, watched Grand Prixs with Geoff and drank his beer and scotch (they were the only ones with a TV that we knew) Shared many a UK motor trade story about Liverpool and had many laughs together. Walked each other home from time to time after too long at the bar.
Our thoughts are with you all at this sad time, Geoff will be missed by those who had the good fortune to know him. We will raise a large glass to his memory as we are sure that would be his wish.

I may have never met your Granddad, but the way you express your relationship I can definitely appreciate your relationship with him. I’m envious. Unfortunately, I’ve never had the opportunity to share the same time with my grandparents. Consider yourself lucky for the time you shared!

Ron, I read about your grandfather and I wanted to send my condolences to you and your family. I met your grandfather once back in the day and remember what a kind man he was. Your thoughts and tribute regarding your granddad were beautifully written and brought tears to my eyes. Altho this is a hard time for you and your family, hold those memories close to your heart. Be sure to give Nat a hug for me. Again, I’m sorry for your loss! All the best…

Consider yourself blessed Ron, to have experienced a close, meaningful relationship like this in your life. You will miss your grandad, but you have had more with him than many will have in a lifetime.
