Tributes have been paid to Terence Paul Hargreaves of Padiham, who passed away on January 7 at the age of 69.

Known as 'Terry', he was a dearly-loved dad to Kelly and Paul, step-dad to Debbie and Diane, and devoted grandad to Emma, Dylan, Sophie, Daniel, Megan and Declan.

He was also father-in-law to Stephen, Crystal, Chris and Bernard and a loyal friend to many.

Terry was brought up in Accrington and spent most of his working life as a delivery driver, working for various companies throughout his career.

A laid-back man, he had a passion for classic cars, and was always taking his vehicles apart and putting them back together again.

He had an impressive assortment of collectible model cars, and was a keen gardener who loved tending to his flowers.

He also enjoyed a curry, a pint the odd flutter on the horses.

Most of all, however, he loved spending time with his grandchildren.

Daughter Kelly Jones paid tribute to her dad, saying: "He had a lot of friends, he cared about everybody."

She added: "He will be very very missed.

"We will love him forever."
