"My grandpa. My hero ♥️
Played golf till 93
Worked till 93
Made the best omelette
Told the best stories
Played the violin
Played with his great granddaughter
Loved his cricket
Loved his sketching
Loved his family
& till the very last moment.. loved his life! ♥️
My heart is full of sorrow but also full of joy .. because all my grandpa did is give us joy & for that feel blessed and grateful to have been brought up by all the light he had to give!
Until we meet again ♥️" (sic).
