To our unc (as Matt would say)
You hold a special place in our hearts as Big Johnny in our family. Cool as you like- our unc. Always lovely, never judgemental, a gentleman and hard as nails. We’ve had nothing but love and respect for you as our uncle. We’ve all worked for you, laughed ‘til we’ve cried with you, listened- enraptured by your stories and always loved being in your company. You, along with all the aunts and uncles and nans have meant the world to us and stood us in good stead so an enormous thank you. Family is family with you all and it’s always made us feel safe and loved. I know that our Matt would want me to tell you all of this so I’m saying it for both of us.
Our uncle John- ‘proper’ as Matt would say. xx
