Sam said: "On behalf of my mum, uncle and I and all of our family, we'd like to take this opportunity to thank everybody who has passed on their condolences at this sad time. It's been a real comfort to the family to know that so many people were so fond of my dad.
"We'd like to especially thank anyone that tried to help my dad on the night of the incident in whatever way they could. On a personal note, I’d like to say how grateful I am that my dad was with people who cared about him when he was in need.
"We'd also like to say a massive thank you to Merseyside Police, the North West Air Ambulance, Fire Service and ambulance crews and to our Family Liaison Officers who have been so courteous, kind, and informative over the last couple of weeks.
