Thankyou for being such a caring Dad to David, Kath and Ros and me and a loving husband to our Mum, Iris

Creating happy memories, music and lasting treasures was your speciality.

You inspired others with your love of nature, and you shared your many talents with young and old. Your spirit of adventure brought you to New Zealand after you retired and again for a family celebration in 2000. You were kind and gentle, and loved to entertain, a real charmer. Only you could charm an old silk tie from a basket and make it dance like a snake to your tune! Mum is so proud of you and there will be many who celebrate your life. The echoes of your song will remain from the Dales of Yorkshire to the Albert Hall and always in our hearts. Til we meet again your Loving Daughter Bip and Son-in Law Jim
