Dad, I can't begin to say how much I miss you. When I think of all the time we spent together, and as a family, I cry uncontrollably that we won't be able to enjoy more times and make even more memories as 'The Ackerman's'. But, once my tears have slowed, I begin to be ever thankful that I have 48 years of incredibly happy times to look back on. I have all your funny sporting stories, your cheeky stories of pranks growing up in Nettlebed and your hilarious tales of jokes played on unsuspecting colleagues at Higgs. I have thousands of memories to fall back on, whether just me & you, or with Mum & Claire and of course more recently with Jayne, Ben & Sophie. So many memories Dad that you will always be with me, wherever I am, you will be. You (I'd like to think) have ensured that I possess many of your best traits and I will continue to do my very best to make you proud. I love you Dad, sleep well All my love, Matt
