My longest friendship!. From nursery, to primary school, senior and early adulthood until you left us! No matter what you were always there with your knowledge of really obscure things in particular the millennium falcon and swords. Then there was the jokes, playfulness, your infectious laughs and love. You were simply as your name says Ace! You raised 2 amazing boys mate and if they turn out like you then you will have done an amazing job! I’m so proud to call you one of my best friends. We did so much together. My fondest was when we went to town and you had a pint at smoky joes and then you wanted to go girl hunting in the regent arcade and I had to take one for the team! When you went off and became a man and lost your virginity in sandford park of all places! I was left with the girls friend just awkwardly sat on the benches watching the fish clock! And then when you came back covered in grass stains and we walked back to your mums with you laughing your head off absolutely buzzing! We never said it mate but I loved you like a brother and I know it was the same for you. You will be missed every single day. Until we meet again! Keep smiling and laughing pal! Rest easy buddy you deserve it! The legacy you’ve left many would be soo proud to achieve! ❤️❤️
