Passed away peacefully in his sleep. Ride the long train in Heaven Dad. I will miss our Sunday visits and your chats with Summer and watching her play. She adored you. You will always be in our hearts. The Strike family, eldest son Tony, daughter-in-law Karen, grandson Jess and granddaughter Summer. Dearly loved father of Rod, father-in-law of Jo. Grandpa of Alex and Paige. Great Grandpa to Hazel. "Those we love don't go away; they walk beside us every day."
