I always think that those sweet memories of our loved ones is the best tribute to them! You have already mentioned steak and chips was his favourite so perhaps that. My Dad's was stew with dumplings but he used to make it and it was delicious. Aw!Dave Allen,I loved him! Even Sr P liked him who had difficult understanding him because Sr P's English wasn't so good then. Wishing you Happy thoughts today!
