Many people I have known
Friendships lost and friendships grown
Close family torn apart
So much so it broke my heart
But all my life I’ve had a friend
One who was there for me till the end
A great man who never did me wrong
Who helped me out and made me strong
I will always remember the smile on his face
That greeted me when I walked in the place
A devoted man in every way
Who was never stuck for something to say
Though greatly missed he will be
He will always mean the world to me
More than a friend in him I had
He was everything and he was my Granddad
