Testament to a man

Not to be maudlin, overly sentimental or depressing...........but to celebrate a life.

Tonight I lost a great friend. He was my 'original' father-in-law - father of my ex-wife Vicki and her brother Mike, and grandfather to our children, Sarah and Russ. His name was Warren but was known as Shorty. He embodied many fine qualities: a love of people, fun, entertaining, travel and new experience. He had two wonderful marriages; to Vicki's late mother Shirley, and he leaves a widow, a lovely lady Reada; and her two daughters.

Shorty was my father-in-law for over 8 years but he'd been a trusted advisor and friend for the last twenty. He always made Lynda and I feel welcome when we arrived at his door. A friend to many and enemy of none. A beautiful legacy. We will all miss him.

I feel I know where you're going but don't know what you'll find there. I've heard it's name spoken though; it's called Heaven. Bless you.
