- wife Toni Dewey, married for 42 years

He will always be in our hearts and forever in our memories...we love you dad.

You left our lives so suddenly,
without a chanceto say hi,
or even a proper goodbye.
You filled our lives with laughter,
and left our lives with the tears in our eyes.
Always there when we needed you the most,
now you are no longer here,
how can we ever forget the day you left us
with feelings of regret.
With time we will refill our empty hearts,
of all the cherished memories,
of all the created moments,
may they be happy or sad.
These things will help us to heal and to never forget,
our stubborn but adored man.
Goodbye friend, husband, dad and grandpa,
Until we meet again may your journey,
lead you to a familiar comfort that will keep you.
See you in the next life,
we will be missing you till then.

~ Claire Dewey
