He added: "He was the patriarch of our family and always so proud of his children and grandchildren. He was the jolliest of blokes and always loved to have a laugh with everyone. He was the man who always had a smile to brighten everyone's day and the memories I shared with him will live on in my heart always. The days are becoming shorter but the pain of missing you is only getting harder. I know you're at peace and reunited with your mum and dad."
