An uncle is a blessing. It means so many things. Words could never tell the joy an uncle brings. An uncle is a bond of faith that even time can’t sever, a gift to last all of our lives. An uncle is forever. But you weren’t just an uncle to me. You were a big brother and a best friend.

What a fighter you are! The past few years were tough, but with the unconditional love and care from Nan, you fought until the very end. Dementia is a horrible disease that needs more investment and research. With that in mind, I will be running the Manchester Marathon in April 2023 in your memory. I’m sure you will be watching over me with a can of Carling!
