Such a big, big man
In every way
From the mile wide smile
That could lift any day
To the gentle humour
That sometimes teased
The gentle presence
That always pleased.
Hard to think he'll
Not be seen anymore,
Far too soon
Gone on before.
Cruelly snatched
From our midst
A gentle giant
Who'll be sadly missed.
For a long long time
There'll be a space
That used to be filled
By his smiling face.
