Pop was not ready to die. But then, he never would have been! Recently, he bought a new gas cooker and the kitchen had fresh floor covering. He asked the workman, "Will that covering last 8 years? 'Cos I'm not going before I am a hundred!!"

We all loved him and we'll miss him terribly but he will always be with us in our hearts.  Funerals are for saying our good-byes but they are also about forgiveness and reconciliation, for showing our love and sharing our grief. He was a lucky man to have had such a caring family and we all were lucky to have had him for such a long time.
