A friend who stands by my dad’s side through life’s ups and downs is a true gem. Your friendship to my dad was a blessing and i’m truly grateful for the laughter, memories and adventures you’ve shared.
To me, you embodied the epitome of fatherly love and guidance. I treasure the memories of your selfless acts and unwavering support during my childhood and I will forever hold you in high esteem.
Your enduring legacy resides in my heart, and the profound impact you’ve had on my life will forever be remembered and cherished.
May your repose be as dignified as your life, Mr Hayford. As we part ways, know that your influence has forever shaped me.
Farewell, dear patriarch.
