Tributes: 
"He helped us to be stronger people than we might have been without him (Ian Hockley, Source)."
"He was always smiling, always laughing. If he laughed, other people laughed with him. He loved to be tickled so people would come up to him and just start tickling him, just to hear him laugh. It was like music. (Nicole Hockley, Source)."
