My hero

Why did he have to get sick now

We were such great soul mates

He’s my hero said Anne and Jill

Joanne his wife agrees

A big strong tall and modest man

Quietly confident

Didn’t like to boast or self promote

And loved his music too

Adored his beautiful wife Joanne

And his girls Jill and Anne

Don’t forget Mandy and Laura

Terrific Thomas too

Monster Max and funny Philip

Grandad doted on them

We’d walk on the beach said Joanne

With the wind in our hair

Was that only last week he asked

Listen to me please dear

And Joanne listened she knew then

Singing dancing were so much fun

Friends were important too

The best husband, Dad and Grandad

In the entire universe

And wonderful times with Joanne

travelling by his side

Always felt safe and loved by Steve

Gentle caring and true
