Vale John 'Jack' Swinbourne

My grandfather John died last night, peacefully at 99 years of age. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather and always had a smile even when things were at their blackest.

His last years were not altogether happy ones with the passing of his eldest son, my father, Robert in 2006 and his wife Rhoda in 2008.

I will always love and remember my Poppa John.

Peace be with you, friend, in your time of mourning.

Those who are gone are never truly gone. They live forever - in our heards and our minds, and in the bodies of our children.

I'm terribly sorry to hear of your sad loss my friend.

He'll always be around you know...you simply have to keep him in your memory and communicate with him often.

What a sh!te six months in RL terms the Grey Wolves are experiencing

RIP Mr Swinbourne, at least he's with his son and wife now. No parent should outlive their children.

May his soul find its rest in the hand of the Creator, and may you and your family find solace in the cherished memories you share of him.
