Neil's Tumor Update.
Hi Family and Friends,
I am sorry to have to tell you that Dad has passed away this evening at 8.15pm.
Over the last couple of weeks, while his health steadily declined, Dad’s personality, which the medication had taken its toll on over the previous months, really began to shine through again.
Dad will be lying in state at home over the next few days, from mid afternoon Friday. Feel free to pop around during that time if you’d like to see him.
We’ll let you know more when details of the funeral are confirmed.
On a personal note from Dad, he wanted everyone to know that he was absolutely thrilled with the prospect of meeting his maker. He wanted all of his friends, family and colleagues to know how much he has appreciated your love, support and friendship. He made it very clear that he felt that he had lived a truly blessed life.
