My lovely father, Reg O;Neil MBE. passed away last evening. He was 91 and an inspiration to us all.My love of music came from him. He was a chorister at Southwark Cathedral, loved Classical music, Glen Miller and everything between! Both my brother and myself have been folk performers and my son Christopher runs a theatre as his main job, but performs when ever he can, he has a wonderful voice. Thank you dad for sharing your love of music with us.God bless you x

Be a good advert for the way he brought you up. That's as good a memorial as one could wish for.
Sorry to hear of his passing.

It sounds like he had a long and full life and managed to pass along a great many important things to all of you. As Dean said, the more they gave, the more you'll miss them. My condolences.

Thank you all so much xxx
Daddy had a very funny sense of humour, which is still with us as this morning Mum and I were thinking about hymns for his funeral.He had told me his favoutite was St Patrick's Breastplate, we could not think of the tune or indeed the first line. So I went on the internet, found it straight away! " This hymn is very challenging to sing" was the comment!! Thanks dad, off to practise!
