“My lovely great-granddad! He has always put everyone else before himself, that's why he has got to his age! He's the most lovely man you will ever meet! Never complains about anything and is very unselfish! The whole family look up to him and he has deserved the brilliant life he's got! He means a lot to all of us and he appreciates everything!.... Love you xxx”
