I wish I had the chance to have known him better. Still remember meeting him that first day and he was in slot of pain but tried to be strong.I have heard all the stories about him and from them I know HE was a great man.I look at Nick and your Dad and he left every single bit of Himself in this two wonderful men. I am truly honoured to be a Hopwood and am forever grateful for having you all in my life. He will always live in each one of you and am sure wherever he is he is smiling and very proud of all of you guys.x x x
