    Shirley, and my cousins.

    So sorry to hear about Putts passing. I have to say I have so many good memories of Putts and the time up at the land with him and the rest of you. He was a great Uncle, and I have such fond memories of him. Melting cold duck bottles in the bonfires, playing army in the woods and spending time with my Cousins. It was a much more simple time and I’ll always cherish those great memories.

    Rest in peace Uncle, I am sure your in heaven with Grandma and Lee having a beer shooting the breeze.

    Love you all.
