This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to write.i could not have wished for a better dad, you really were one in a million. We are all truly heartbroken, but we hope you are at peace now. I hope you knew how loved you were by so many people. Don’t worry we will look after mum. I miss you dad. This isnt goodbye its “see you later”. All my love forever. Didds ❤️
It’s a struggle to find the words to say.
Truly the greatest man ever.
The reality of this still hasn’t and I don’t think ever will sink in.
I count myself lucky to have had such an amazing grandad and will spend the rest of my life trying to become someone that you would be proud of.
I am also glad my boys got to meet you and got to see and share in the happiness you bought to all of us.
It’s the saddest thing thinking of having to say goodbye but I know that you will always be part of who I am.
Don’t even know what to say 😕
Don’t even think it’s real to be honest.
Absolute amazing man best grandad ever.
Do anything for anyone.
Going to be weird coming up and not seeing you in your shed making something or asleep in your chair at Christmas 🤣
Who am I going to get to come pick me up from work now when I need it 😩
Miv,
The kindest, most generous man I’ll ever meet.
I wish Nala could’ve had the chance to grow up with her great grandad by her side.
But we will remind her of the wonderful man you were
All our love
Rest in peace

Uncle Miv
I didn’t see you as much as I would have liked but when I needed help moving out of my flat you were there for me, I just wish I could have been there for you.
I’ll never forget at Blowers when you passed me some pliers and asked me to pull the turkeys teeth out. I can’t believe I fell for that one.
Lots of Love
Becky Dando xx
Miv, you were one of the nicest guys I have ever met.
Things aren’t going to be the same without you around. You were loved by all of your family and we are all going to miss you.
Thank you for all you have done for us,
Don’t worry I will stick up for myself with Didds, just like you did with Janet. Rest in peace.
Olly.
Our deepest condolences to you all . Mivvy made us feel so welcome when moving into
Kimmeridge and we will miss his lovely smile and wave . Our thoughts will be with you tomorrow .
Val and Pete Honeywill at number 23 .
Our thoughts are with all your family at this difficult time. We will miss that big wave & smile you always gave from your truck, and will always think of you when walking the dogs through the wood & behind your beautiful garden, where we so often bumped into you. Kimmeridge has lost a true gentleman and stalwart of the village. Rest in peace.
Our thoughts and love are with your family at this sad time. Miv was such a gentle and kind man. We are lucky to have one of his beautiful carts in our yard and we will always remember the advice he gave us on our flowers and the time he spent helping us at the house. Such a very special man. Sandra & Laurence Puddlemill Farm
Dearest Miv
Our hearts are broken.
Words can’t express our sorrow at losing you. We will miss and love you forever.
