To our beloved Paps/ Papa.
We know joy because we have you.
A silly hat, a funny face, a made up fable, a jig in the middle of a serious church service to a hymn, a questionably named suburban garden.
We know love and unwavering support because we have you.
Quiet pride, presence at Grandparents days, practical advice, the reminder to always be yourself, and ‘the look’ you give to your grandchildren (so many photos!).
Man of many hobbies- until we can join you around a dinner table for Five Spice, wherever you are- love you from afar.
Our condolences to you snd the family. A wonderful man that I have many special memories of. Always generous, good natured and a great guy to have a pint with.
He will always be remembered here.
To Neil and Family sending much love to you special people at this sad time
You are in our hearts Liz Mick and family
Condolences Lynn on Tony’s passing. We are left with very fond memories of Tony and yourself over the history of our beloved company at Coalcliff. He was always a happy and positive person with a cheeky glint always in his eyes.
Love from my family to yours in Tony’s passing. God bless.
So many lovely memories of a fun loving laughter filled character that was Tony. Long years of family connection on multiple levels. I’m so sorry for the loss of this wise guiding patriarch. May he rest now in peace. Sending my condolences and love to all the Ridgeways during this very sad time.
