A life well-lived, a journey complete Our father, now at rest and peace. He savored simple pleasures every day A quiet pint, a stroll with his dogs to play. A keen gardener, growing veggies with pride, Baking cakes, his sweet creations he'd hide. Model ships crafted with care and precision His hands skilled, his mind sharp with decision. As an electrician, he worked hard and true, Serving with honor in the Royal Navy too. He traveled the world, experiencing different lands, And now in his memory, we hold his legacy in our hands. His passing leaves a void, a loss we feel keen, But we hold dear memories of the life he lived serene. A father, a friend, and an inspiration to many, We honor his legacy with love, and we'll keep his memory. Rest in peace, dear father, our thoughts are with you, And in our hearts forever, we'll always hold you true.
