Dad, you have run the last race,

Kicked the last goal,

Potted the last black,

Sunk the last birdie putt.

You have kissed the last jack,

Caught the last cod.

You have sowed the last seed,

Sprayed the last weed,

Shorn the last sheep,

Has any man ever had a fuller life than you?

Now it is time to take a well earned rest, but before you go

Can you just tell us all one last joke?

Forever in our hearts!

Dad, you have lived a remarkable life full of hard work, adventure and fun. We loved sharing this life with you and you will be so sadly missed. We will always remember you when we retell your jokes and raise a glass of red!

Happily reunited with Mum.
