‘Ronseal’

a Tribute by Dave Fletcher read at Tim’s Funeral Service on 2nd January 2014

Such a lovely bloke Who battled many a condition

Would've been easier having a stroke To get through them his only mission

He bounced right back After major setbacks

Regained his strength Never lost his length (Off the tee of course)

Had the strength of a horse With a cack-handed grip

He'd hit it a mile Then around the green Pretty good with a chip

Trophy retaining And always entertaining

The nineteenth he loved too Another love -his food

'I was born hungry' I once heard him say He wasn't wrong I remember that day

Always consistent In all and everything

A grafter, a father A friend and true gent

'Did what it said on the tin'

But this time he couldn't win

His final battle, a battle too far

The cancer beat him

We all lost our star

Lets all raise a glass Lets all have a jar

Lets celebrate the life Of our great man Tim

And the happiness he'd bring

Dave "Fletch" Fletcher.
