Funeral went well, good honest and plenty of laughs. Here is a story from my speech…
As I said earlier John was able to adapt and I’ll never forget one time when he had to that in an instant. Some of you may not know but for a number of years Jean & John had pigs. Well one time I got asked if I would help him kill one for the freezer. Now I’m not the best at killing things but was told by C, It’ll be fine Dad’ll just shoot it and then all you have to do is help him put it in the bath of hot water… go on you’ll be right… so over I went and sure enough John has the rifle ready and the pig is in the middle of the yard, he shoots it between the eyes and all it does is shake its head and let out an almighty squeal …3 bullets later the pig is racing round the yard with John and me after it he’s yelling jump on it and I’ll stick it somehow that’s what we managed to do, laughing and laughing about it afterwards …the moral of the story according to John…never use bullets that useless bastard Paul Brown gives you.
