Guestbook

I feel like Uncle Kelvin was quiet and reserved, like his dad, but also could be cheeky, like his mum. He was always sitting back, listening and observing, so you wouldn't always realise how sharp and witty he was. His work ethic was incredible, right to the end, and it's apt that he died in his work clothes, as he would have wanted. A man of many talents and escapades - some I didn't even realise until hearing about them at his funeral. As Uncle Vernon said - solid, always there. He lived with loyalty and integrity and there is really nothing more important than this. Much love to Aunty Christine and all the family xxx
