Much loved Husband, Dad, Grandad and Great Grandad.
The day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended,
The darkness falls at Thy behest;
To Thee our morning hymns ascended,
Thy praise shall sanctify our rest.
We thank Thee that Thy church, unsleeping,
While earth rolls onward into light,
Through all the world her watch is keeping,
And rests not now by day or night.
As o’er each continent and island
The dawn leads on another day,
The voice of prayer is never silent,
Nor dies the strain of praise away.
The sun that bids us rest is waking
Our brethren ’neath the western sky,
And hour by hour fresh lips are making
Thy wondrous doings heard on high.
So be it, Lord; Thy throne shall never,
Like earth’s proud empires, pass away:
Thy kingdom stands, and grows forever,
Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway.

Amy the legendary egg breaking contest, sure he got some boos from everyone lol always knew when ur grandad was due to walk into the old club as the floor would bounce up and down when Benson ran in seconds ahead of him! Was nice to see people outside his home this morning, he was a big part of alot of lives, my childhood memories will always have us two and your grandad in them, even now I remember stealing sweets from the bowl by his chair when we would make an excuse to go to his house lol the image of ur grandad slamming open the front door of the green hut and yelling at us for playing wicket cricket cant believe how long ago it all was time goes so quickly, love to you all RIP Dennis xx
