Property expert Kirstie penned: “This is my dad, Charlie Hindlip. He was a great auctioneer, the best of his generation, an artist, a gardener, a father of four, and grandfather of eight, a loving husband to a wife he lost too soon.
“He was a real star, he worked hard, played hard and went further than anyone ever expected.
“He died at home yesterday, surrounded by love, flowers and photographs, in a house he built, looking out over a stunning garden he created from scratch.
“I have been so proud to be his daughter all my life, and will be until the day I die. Bless you Dad, we loved you so much.”
