To Our Gentle Giant<br />

Tribute from <strong>Brian</strong>‘s grandchildren.<br />

Read by Katie - Grandaughter<br />

Grandad had the kindest<br />

eyes. He walked like a<br />

penguin in disguise, his heart<br />

was proud just like a lion, the<br />

centre <strong>of</strong> our family, Grandad<br />

<strong>Brian</strong>.<br />

He always did everything to<br />

support us, took us under his<br />

wing and taught us how to<br />

cherish family and be the best<br />

that we could be.<br />

We will miss him every day his<br />

smiley face, the way he’d say<br />

‘Ello Darlin’ when he saw us and<br />

would move the heavens for us.<br />

A gentle giant, young at heart<br />

Grandad was well-read, an<br />

inspiration and smart and<br />

rather sprightly for his age with<br />

his ipad and Facebook page.<br />

He was an amazing Grandad<br />

this football crazy Fulham lad a<br />

die-hard fan who got his kicks<br />

watching the side from SW6.<br />

Grandad loved the Eastbourne<br />

air and met some lovely people<br />

there always finding common<br />

ground with friends <strong>of</strong> old and<br />

friends new-found.<br />

He was honest, generous, kind<br />

and fun welcoming to everyone<br />

who joined the close knit<br />

Faulkner clan the family he’d<br />

built with our lovely Nan.<br />

He’s a man we can’t replace his<br />

zest for life; his warm embrace;<br />

his bacci tin; his magic tricks;<br />

his weakness for Ham, Egg and<br />

Chips.<br />

The sight <strong>of</strong> him on Christmas<br />

day Fulham hat proudly on<br />

display; how he filled our lives<br />

with laughter and always made<br />

us feel looked after.<br />

Now we’ve lost him to the stars<br />

we’re so proud that he was ours<br />

that we shared our lives<br />

together and he will live in us<br />

forever.<br />

With his love we all were<br />

blessed,<br />

<strong>Brian</strong> <strong>Frank</strong> Faulkner;<br />

Granddad; the best.
