Loosing a friend

I have a mates funeral to go to today i’ve known him since we met at primary school when we were 8 yrs old and he passed away new years day at just gone midnight. He had twin teenage daughters and was only 49, it started as lung cancer then slowly spread about as it does, there’ll be a good turn out and i have tomorrow off as it will get messy later !!

He was very open about it and used to say to people “make sure you can make my funeral won’t you” and we used to joke to him about putting a nice spread on and leaving some money behind the bar for us and he took it all well and enjoyed the banter.

RIP Dennis.
