  1. Dad would've hated all this fuss, he was very unassuming.

    He sounds like a top bloke Lisa, and a genuine definition of legend. I'm sure he very much lives on in you, too :)
    Happy birthday Mr Jones x

  8. I'm funnier than him! ;)

    As some may have worked out when I got the news last February it was as I was about to embark on the work on the bay's chassis and taking off the belly pans, hence why I used an Elvis track for the title of that thread as a nod to dad. I have to say that if it hadn't been for the support from @scrooge95, @CollyP and @Lasty I wouldn't have got through that time. Turns out crying while angle grinding and wearing eye protection isn't the easiest thing to do! Thank you lovely people x

  12. That’s so sad, I am really sorry - it’s awful when your dad goes. Especially when it’s suddenly like this.
    Brilliant that you have all the shared stories of his workmates, he sounds a real character - and a handsome devil too.
    Down the track his legendary status will give you lots of comfort and smiles. But right now I bet it’s really tough.
    Hope the funeral goes ok.

    Very sorry for your loss Lisa ...He was clearly a very popular guy and a character and gained close friendship with ease .
    You must be very proud of him and rightly so ....hearts go with you Ewan & Caroline .

    I did play some Elvis on the show last night, consider it as a tribute to your lovely dad.
