“With his cheeky smile and his quick witty sense of humour, there was never a dull moment in his company. He worked hard at night to earn his money to make his little Mini stand out from the crowd. His pride and joy, which sadly never brought him home.
“We as parents would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has contacted us with their kind words of condolences, help and food parcels.
