Grandy... RIP OB - Page 8

TR75 · 24th June 2015, 22:41

I am desperately sorry to hear this news.

Grandy really did play a large part in the form and I always enjoyed reading his various posts, even after he left 75 ownership.

Sending my thoughts and prayers to his family at this difficult time.

My heartfelt condolences to Deborah, Jane and Philip.

I hope that the outpouring of affectionate posts might give you some comfort to know how much your Dad meant to his friends here, whether he met them or corresponded direct - or like me - simply enjoyed reading about him and his beloved car.

All best wishes,

Nicholas/Zircon

Thanks Phil for that memory of a better time and a man who honoured me by calling me a friend, he had many issues to cope with but was unfailingly polite and always had a smile for you, The world has lost a true gentleman a devoted husband and father. I hope some members may be able to pay their last respects at the funeral ceremony

Just seen this sad news. Hopefully the family can take some comfort in knowing that he's not suffering anymore.
My dad passed away in 2013 from cancer and although we're not a religious family this poem kind of summed up how we all felt.

God saw he was getting tired
and a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around him
and whispered “Come with me”.

With tearful eyes we saw him suffer
and watched him fade away.
Although we loved him dearly,
we could not make him stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
he only takes the best.
