May I thank you all for your kind messages. Dad's Sister, My Brother and myself are presently in Cyprus with our Mum Andrea making the necessary arrangements. We would just like to reiterate that all are welcome to attend the funeral on Tuesday. We have been to the cemetry today and it is a lovely peaceful area.
The Green Jackets were a big part of our Dad's life, and therefore we would like to thank you all for giving our Dad the memories and honour that he enjoyed!
Tim & Paul Smith
