"Dad was kind and generous, he had great affection for us all, especially his grandchildren as he got older and had more time on his hands. "He had such a positive outlook on life, on everything. There was definitely a child within that wanted to have fun and give fun. "Laughter is the best exercise for the heart and he got plenty of exercise for his." The Carson family plan to bring Frank back to Belfast for burial on Saturday 3 March.
