During our lives we have the pleasure of meeting the genuine good guys, the show you more kindness than you deserve guys, the I’ll give you best advice guys, the no matter what has happened I’ll stand by you whatever guys, the guys you will share so much joy with, That guy was Tony Rudge. 


From family dinners/brunches, a trip to New Road to watch the Worcester Rapids in our first T20 match, finding a favourite holiday destination at crantock, sinking a few ales at the Cardinals hat before a terrible attempt at ordering chinese food in mandarin. Always great to enjoy a chat about cricket, F1 and football I will miss these all so much. 


My heart hurts that we never had the chance for one last chat, for one last laugh, one last beer or for me to tell you how happy i was to have had you in our lives. Like a son you treated me even when I did not deserve it. The bond with Hannah was so lovely and will be cherished forever. 


On the 18th we will say goodbye and i can honestly admit how much you will be missed and were lived by all.

Until we meet again 💙

Simon, Chelle and Hannah
