He was an amazing man and to me an amazing grandad. He was a gentleman, but was cheeky without being rude. He worked hard, but loved to have fun. He laughed easily and enjoyed life.
He was quietly brave, a war hero, proud to have done his bit, but only spoke of his time when asked.
He was loving to his family and loyal to his friends. Always fondly remembered mainly for his humour, but also for his generosity of time and self.
It was his time, tired of fighting and now in a better place. He will always be alive, as we all have a part of him in us, his look, his mannerisms, his cheekiness, his generosity. Whatever it is it is Ben, Dad, or grandad.
