To our gentleman of time, , you will be in our thoughts for ever , never far away ., you will be the tick tock of our clocks you lived with time ...and your memories , they were yours that's what you used to say ..you can't ever take my memories away from me
Like your band with the cornet playing, your light will continue to shine , the brass glint , casting a twinkle as you walk out in the sun ☀️ in golden beats , shinning bright
A rhythmic tune to your time ..
We all hold keys to open your door , you haven't gone at all
like the keys on a piano, notes will vibrate .. the ivories will jump with joy at times , when melodies are played and memories will be our music
You were a man of time , you loved your music so ...
You loved your memories with great fondness and sharing them in
timely ways
You knew we could never take away ..that love of your past
Like the parades and the paras , the red beret that you wore with pride
You knew how to fly , you had your wings , timeless in your flight
Landing where you were needed to slow down any fight
We remember your regiment with soulful pride
Our memories won't fade , they will grow , stay with us , become us
We can visit you whenever we want in mind and spirit and time
We are , none of us apart
Time won't part us
We all hold a key to this room and the next .. two keys given by St. Peter
Sharing the same band of gold a golden weave holding us together
You have only gone out on a lovely walk
Nothing has happened it's just a moment in time
It's a beginning of a new journey it is not the end
A new pathway to walk, new memories and old ones and a time of reflection and love
How your beloved dogs will meet and greet you ... their owner now reunited with love
The rainbow has guided them to your pot of gold
Imagine those tails wagging they have waited for you at the end of the rainbow
We will keep your memories .. thinking of you with every walk
Your footsteps cemented in time ..
When we see fire engines we will think of you , your life was full of love of memories of your time , you often responded to emergency situations, putting yourself in danger for others , you were humble but proud , the fire service was part of your life putting others first
You are a gentleman of time...
Saving others at risk was part of your journey in time
Your memory will continue to live forever like the leaves coming into bud
To each of us in precious ways we will remember our man of time
Who lived by the seasons all beautiful and changing
Your love of nature and the vast oaks in the wood
Will provide such solace as we remember you
A man for all seasons
We will think of you often , talk of you often
Remember you
Laugh for you and with you
You liked fun and people , they all made your day
Be free now be at one ..
Be in Alcester , your life's work is done
We will follow in your history and your footsteps to
Our Alcester humble gentlemen of time
You are here with us , memories of you will never fade
Memories were your life .. past and present .. family and friends were your passion
We will one day laugh of how hard this grief was , this sad and sorrow of parting
If only we can remember that in time we will meet again
This sadness will be gone
Time will change again
Like life's carousel changing at your stop , stay merry say cheers ,,good health , that's the one ..
We will talk to you
We are here , always will be
We will not dwell on that sorrow and sadness
We will Live our lives as you would want ...
Laugh as much as we can when we think of you
Let the music play on
We will say your name as often as we can to talk to you
You will hear us
You will be smiling
You are with us
Remembering those special moments
You are a fine Alcester gentleman of time and you are ours x

Dad, I remember the last time you picked up the trowel, you were unsure but still had the idea. We had different ways of doing things but the result was always the same. As we look around Alcester and local villages we see signs of all your skilled workmanship over the years, I hope you will be looking down on me and guiding me when needed.
Dad if you could read all the messages we have received since you closed your eyes I think you smile and shed a little tear, so on Dads behalf I would like to thank everyone for there kind words.
Dad, if only you would have wrote a book about your knowledge of Alcester, but you didn’t, that wasn’t you was it, you were not the person to be on the front line but always there to do what was needed without taking the glory.
Due to Covid there is a lot of people who cannot be in the church today so here are a few words they have said about you, Gentleman, Humble, Honest, Font of Knowledge, A great man, Caring, Lovely smile.
A huge thanks must go to Stonebridge nursing home where Dad spent his final 14months, nothing was ever to much trouble for them, they became part of our family and Dad became part of there’s.
Due to the circumstances we live in at present with Covid I took on the task of arranging Dads final goodbye which I was proud to do, I hope I have included everything that Mum, Alison and Karen have asked for. So I would like to thank you all for coming today, and Dad I hope that you are proud of what we done for your final goodbye.
Love your Son Cliff
