Our dad was a hero to his family and to many others, A firefighter his whole life he dedicated his life’s work to saving others as all firefighters do.

A loyal and caring family oriented man who always had time for his friends. Nothing was ever to much of my dad and those who knew him knew they could rely on him.

Described recently as always smiling and with a twinkle in his eye, which being honest was usually mischief. Dad loved to laugh and my childhood memories are full of us having fun and laughing together.

He cared about charity and believed in doing what he could. He completed twelve trips to Romania supporting their fire service and the orphanages. He worked with ACE (Animal Care in Egypt) travelling there and working for them.

Dad was great with animals, cats and dogs gravitated towards him probably because of his kind nature and together with my mum they were and she continues to be avid supporters of the World Wildlife Federation.
