I am honoured to be todays eugoogalizer you know, one who speaks at funerals…For those who knew my father, you know that I could not speak at his funeral with out referring to one of his favourite movies Zoolander.
Friends and family I want to thank you for being here today. My father leaves behind a loving wife, three daughters, five sons, and a loving sister, and seven brothers.

Our father had taken a red eye from New York all the way back to London just to be there for the night, then flew back the following morning to work. This small but amazing gesture just shows how much our father loved and cared for
