A see you again not a goodbye
So this has been over 80 years in the making
Son. Brother. Cousin. Husband, Uncle, Father, Grandad. Carpenter, Footballer, Engineer, Bowler, Painter, Teacher, Supporter, Provider. Protector.
These are just labels and only scratch the surface of who this man was. Who he IS. He was the best, my hero, my friend. someone I wanted to emulate. Someone to make proud. Someone I was and will forever be proud of
He was funny, supportive, loving. He provided for us all and only wanted one thing for us. To be the best versions of ourselves
A giant of a man in a small mans body.
To those who knew him he was Goff, Godfrey, Mr Matthews, Uncle, Brother, Grandad and to my close friends he became affectionately known as Godders but to my brothers and me he was just Dad.
There is no such thing as an ending. Just a place where you leave the story
