A great man with endless patience.
You enjoyed a beer or two but only ever in a half pint glass.
You enjoyed following and watching horse racing but never gambled.
You enjoyed good cheese and food but never in excess.
You followed the Beaufort Hunt but never hunted.
You cared for your animals with great humanity.
You were at ease with nature enjoying collecting nuts and firewood.
The farm lands you left are desolate without you.
You had no children but were adored by many.
You were beautiful inside and out.
You are not forgotten.
It’s an emptier colder world without you Clem.
I’m so sorry.
With all my love to you there.
Mary

From all his children.

To our loving Father John Meikle Dykes who faded away peacefully after a long, happy and fulfilled life. It is not the sadness of his death we remember but the joy of his time with us.

He rests now with our mother Marjorie Anne In Stowemarket cemetary if you're ever passing stop and say hello.

He made our life so much richer, and will surely be missed. There is nothing we wouldn't do to have him back again.
