William, Bruce, Belin and their mom Linda and family and friends as I make a farewell to my beloved Myles [Long] as I always called him , it's so sad but I feel great pride in having you Myles as my nephew.
When a day in Gooseberry Cove was planned it never went ahead without Myles.
There were times I drove home with my heart in my throat after watching him swim from one point of Gooseberry to the other.
Just before teenage year's when all the boys got their bikes the Cove was lit up with noise and laughter.
You always appreciated everything even the smallest , and was always respectful to Nan and and Grandfather.
The first trip after arriving home from overseas was to see Nan .
You travelled the world but I was reminded of how much you really did by reading your Seaman's Discharge Book this week.
When you collapsed in Heathrow Airport 15 year's ago and ended up in England Hospital for over 2 month's you plunged forward with great strength.
A guy told me this week that you saved his life while swimming , you were always so humble - just part of the day!
Never judgmental or cared what anyone else had.
Myles we all loved you and we know you loved us , this is greatest of all.
Bruce you can be proud of your Dad, a strong hard working man .
I did not measure his goodness by great things or travels but by his embodiment of goodness and little deeds of love.
Rest softly dear one we know you are with us always.
Love Agnes and Andy
