It takes a special dad to become an amazing Grandad , just like you xxx

Thank you Andrew for being my big brother. I know there were times when we didn’t see each other but I knew you’d always be there for me and you were. I’m going to miss you so much. I loved our chats over a glass of Guinness. I’m going to say it one more time ‘I love you.’ xxx
Thank you Grandad ,
for making my room pretty.
I enjoyed litter picking and your silly jokes and teasing me. I will miss your smile
I will look after Larry the lion for you
Love from Pippy xxxxx
Andy Barty,
One of our Villages finest.
From the Wendy House to The Crown, Andy was a massive part of our community and life around the football club.
FA Cup final day was always a prime example, unrelenting effort put into ensuring the Pitch and surrounding grounds were in prime condition (best pitch in Wiltshire) before we all hit the Beer watching the Final.
Always a cheeky smile, always a Meaningful hello, always a true gentleman. God bless Andy Barty.
So sorry for your loss. X
We will miss your smile and the laughter we would have with you Marina and Dennis.
You would always make me laugh (Katie) and we both have many fond memories of you.
Thinking of all you family, sending warm hugs and lots of love ❤️
I don’t even know where to begin to write about you Chip.
I don’t think I can ever really put into words how much you were loved you mean so much to so many.
You were Camerons world you had such a special bond that can never be replaced, I could never of asked for a better Grandad ❤️
I loved watching your bond grow throughout the years.
I myself have so many wonderful memories of our time together and I will be forever grateful for all that you did for me.
The memories I have I will cherish forever.
Love Donna ❤️

Thankful for the time I had to know you, your stoicism, wit and wonderful humour. You could light any room with ripples of laughter – and never shied from battle – a right proper grafter. You’ve taught us all something precious, just be being yourself, sharing your charisma and kindness and practical wealth. Thank you for the warm welcome you always gave me, a nod with the eye and a shake of the hand. And I loved hearing your adventures to faraway lands. In the night sky we’ll look up to find you, shining down bright as you watch over us all. Now it’s time to rest and stretch out your wings – Hold Tight Barty and Send Love to G.
Until we all meet again… xx
