There are no words that can articulate the loss we all feel today Grandad. You were such a smiling, bubbly and sweet person who touched so many lives. I'll always be so proud that you're my grandad and think of you often in life. Especially when your music comes on and I picture you sitting happily in your own bliss singing along to the beat of the song through your teeth. As the tributes at the funeral mentioned, you had a smile that could light up any room and it felt so incredible to earn one of those. i'll always be grateful that it didn't take much to make you happy because you were always so warm and unconditionally proud of all of us. I feel so lucky to have been in your gang and received that love. I feel so proud to be the granddaughter of someone who spread that love and care as far as you could stretch it. I'll always miss you but try my hardest to smile when I think of you and everything you have been, rather than cry that I won't be able to witness it anymore. I know you wanted us not to be sad and to celebrate instead. In our memories you'll always live on Grandad. I love you so much. <3 Love from Ellie. It was a real pleasure getting to meet you Don. I'm grateful for the moments we got to share together, however brief, they were memorable to me. Thanks for for being so warm and welcoming. You legend. - Josh
