My deepest sympathies are for all of the family.
Mrs Rosalind Walton
What a wonderful brother to have, always such a happy smiling gentleman who we all looked up to. A man who had so much love to share with family and friends. I will miss his cheery smile.
Facetime was always our thing as i live away in Wales. Our chats about his next crochet animal, discussing the best way to create rabbit ears, or foxes tails, even how to do my elephant's trunk on a bag he made me for Christmas 2019.
He always looked out for us younger siblings, I don't think i will ever feel whole again, till we meet again Phil. Love you always (Jacqueline) if he was being serious, but always Jackie, Eddie and Harleydog.
Mrs Jackie Wakeham

We won't be able to make it to the funeral, due to work, but we will be thinking of you all.
Very much love

Our last five minutes together (Thursday 11th April 2024) - by Shirley
We shed some tears, we let them fall, we held tight, clasped hands, as we agreed future plans. We made new promises that we could keep, with tears falling upon our cheeks. You said you were not ready, as there were still thing to do and wanted to do this without further ado and now our hearts are broken too. As you left us, long before you were due, we said we'd always be together, now you're gone. I love and miss my brother.
We were a family that always played together, We are a family that will always be together.
Those who play together, will stay stay together.
Love you always Shirley & Lawrence xxxx
