"You always told me one day I'll look back on our day outs and times together and appreciate them and say 'I have a boss dad' so thank you for dragging me out of my pit on a Sunday to have our dad daughter time. I am so thankful for you dad. Even though I can't accept what's true I can still accept I had the best dad in the whole world.

"If it weren't for you I wouldn't be where I am now. You were such a strong minded, funny man. One thing apart from his family he loved his comedy."
