Allyson’s Tribute To Dad

Today, I not only mourn but celebrate the life of an extraordinary man.

Dad was an elegant, wise, witty, and stylish gentleman. He embodied warmth and sensitivity, traits that I have the privilege of experiencing daily through my wonderful husband, his son.

Dad's unwavering love for his family was a beacon of light in our lives. Most notably, his devotion to his beloved wife, Ina, for 67 years, stands as a testament to the strength and beauty of a healthy marriage. Their bond is a shining example to us all.

From the moment I was welcomed into the family as Hendy's wife, Dad embraced me with open arms and a heart full of love. He made me feel like his own daughter, and I cherish the countless conversations we shared. His wisdom, humour, and kindness have left an indelible mark on my heart.

Though we will miss his physical presence, Dad's spirit lives on in all of us, especially in my dear husband, who reflects his father's fine qualities.

Rest well, ‘Young Boy’. We will take care of ‘Sweetpea’, just as you always did.

Thank you, Dad, for the love, the lessons, and the legacy you leave behind.

You will forever be in our hearts.

It's with great sadness that I received the passing of Neuborne, he was a peaceful and gentle soul easy to chat with and offered a welcoming environment as well as his beloved Ina. His lost will be felt by all those who knew him even if they spent but a few moments in his presence.
My condolences to the entire family, may he rest in peace and may God bless you all and strengthen you to mourn this great loss and incorporate his values into your lives and those to follow. RIP

Although I am not able to give my condolences in person, I would like to express my deepest condolences to the entire family. I only met Mr. Holder just a handful of times, but I knew a lot about him through his daughter Margaret. I knew what a strong, determined man he was who lived his life to the fullest until it was time to rest. I have admired Mr and Mrs Holders relationship and we have shared stories and laughs vicariously through Margaret. Absolutely beautiful family and a wonderful man whose presence will be deeply missed. Thinking of everyone on the this difficult day. Xo Maria Browne and Dave
