His daughter, Olivia Ashworth, honored her father’s career and legacy with a touching tribute.
As reported by the Liverpool Echo, Olivia’s heartfelt message read: “Oh my beautiful dad you are at rest now, I hate that them words have to be said. I really looked forward to what came in the future. Even though I’m filled with memories of a lifetime, I still had a lifetime or more memories waiting to be made.”
She continued, “You always told me one day I’ll look back on our day outs and times together and appreciate them and say ‘I have a boss dad’ so thank you for dragging me out of my pit on a Sunday to have our dad-daughter time. I am so thankful for you dad. Even though I can’t accept what’s true I can still accept I had the best dad in the whole world.”
Olivia concluded with a sentiment that captures her father’s spirit: “If it weren’t for you I wouldn’t be where I am now. You were such a strong-minded, funny man. One thing apart from his family he loved was his comedy.”
