What to say?
I have no idea really.
One thing I do know is that now you have gone the world is a much sadder place. You asked me a few weeks ago to take care of your girls and I will do everything in my power to keep them safe. From a personal point of view, I have very few regrets in my life but one will always be that we didn’t know each other for at lot longer than we did and if we had of done I know we would have been the best of friends.

Sleep well my friend
Love Rob

Uncle Shonner,
We will miss you and your humour particularly when I think of the yearly booze cruise expeditions to Calais, the early family bbq's and Christmas's when I was younger. Rest in peace dear uncle.
Love Sean and Reha xxx👏

Grandad,
Words can’t describe how much I miss you. I hope to be half the man you were, always keeping everyone else’s spirits high in the worst of times. I wish I could sit downstairs with you one last time and watch a Liverpool or Wolves match and listen to you talk my head off about how football used to be in the old days. I hope you’re at peace now, you’ll always be in my heart.
Sam
You was life and soul of any party but my favourite will be forever always our dance off to achey breaky heart ❤️ you and Di would always chat and observe others at parties often laughing out load together !! Not sure at who mind !! We both will miss you terribly but know your are at peace.

Where do I start. The first man I ever loved. The first man to hold my hand. The only constant man in my life. You taught me many life lessons and alway believed in me when I doubted myself. I have so many memories with you and I will treasure them forever. You have been my rock for a very long time and it makes me so sad that I can no longer say “oh I will ask my Dad he will know or I’ll ring Dad he can fix it”. I miss you every day the world is a very quiet place without you in it. I will look after Mum and Kel so you can rest. You have a piece of my heart forever and always your Emma-Jane xx

Our thoughts and love are with June and family at this very sad time, fond memories of Shonner working together at Panasonic. Xx
