Bill Needham

RIP Grandad Bill.

We always enjoyed your visits when we were younger. You would always have your camera with you, snapping memorable moments and then sending these to us in our birthday cards you and Jean kindly remembered each year.

I’m glad we follow in your footsteps and adore AFC Bournemouth, just like you did. Enjoyed our last conversation chatting about the transfers and upcoming matches. It was lovely to see a cherries goal the Saturday after your passing with the sun beaming down.

When I watch Bournemouth I’ll always be reminded of you and know you will be cheering us on as always.

All of your daughters are amazing and I’m lucky to have such great role models.

You take care up there.

Beth.

R.I.P Grandad bill. Even though I never got to meet you god took the the best one away before we had the chance to meet.
I will never forget our chats on the phone and us talking about football and the fact the you run a fruit and veg stool in Kingston just like my dad run he's fruit and veg shop in Southend. I was down in Kingston a few months ago and the old guys told me at the fruit and veg stool they remembered you.
I just wish you was still with us.

I be think of nan Jean my dad and my aunties on this sad day.
