Just so many memories involving you, from the first time we met on a school trip to Paris, right up to the present, you’ve been in my life, not always in the forefront but always there, it’s going to be strange you not being around.

You had the worst singing voice, were dreadful at dancing and air guitar, thoroughly naughty with practical jokes and hated that I like ginger ale in my scotch, you were unapologetically you, regardless of where you were, who you were with and you made me laugh. 

Rest easy Dockie, say hi to your Mum and Dad for me, adieu you annoying friend, we’ll catch up later.
