  • My last goodbye for your final trip. So many happy memories from my time growing up with you around. From trying to teach me how to swim at New Brighton outdoor pool, to pulling me out of my first school fight, by telling me not to boot the boy while he’s still on the ground and so much more. You will be sorely missed. Your loving Nephew.

  • I met Uncle Dan in Munich, a coincidence, he was visiting friends and I was on a football trip with mufc.
    Dan met all my friends and had a couple of Paulanas with us. He told us we should go to a certain restaurant but the menu was tricky to understand!. We decided he’d come show us but didn’t want to eat.
    We walked in and sat down, 6 man united supporters, Dan followed us in and had changed into an Everton top. My my mates were in hysterics and all loved Dan. RIP Friend
