He was a much loved husband to my mam Jackie they married 5/6/1965.
A wonderful dad to his 9 kids David, Mandy, Shaun, Tony, Wayne, Philip, Scott, Lucy and Ben i think i speak for us all dad when i say "I love you loads and miss you even more" what i would give for one of your "chin rubs".
He was a brilliant grandad to his grandkids some of which he sadly never got to meet David, Robert, Hollie, Martyn, Michael, Matthew, Mack, Natasha, Brett, Brad, Billie Jo, Blake, Laura, Corey, Shelby, Courtney, Sian, Paige, Brent, Brooke, Tyler, Millie, Kurt, Carlton, Bailey, Jake and Keigan.

He enjoyed gardening, farming, fishing and shooting, he also spent a lot of his time in his shed on his CB talking to people all over the world (we have tinternet for that now dad)
I'l leave it there for now dad cos i'm getting a bit teary. Will write more soon there was so much more to say about you. You were the best dad in the world xxx
Happy Fathers day x x x
If roses grow in Heaven,
Lord, please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my dads arms
And tell him they are from me.
Tell him that I love and miss him,
And when he turns to smile,
Place a kiss on his cheek
And hold him for a while.
Because remembering him is easy,
I do it everyday.
But there’s an ache in my heart
Because I miss him lots today.
Happy fathers day dad love and miss you xxx
My dad.....My Hero xxx
Dad...so many images come to mind
Whenever I speak your name;
It seems without you in my life
Things have never been the same.
What happened to those lazy days?
When I was just a child;
When my life was consumed in you
In your love, and in your smile.
What happened to all those times?
When I always looked to you;
No matter what happened in my life
You could make my gray skies blue.
Dad, some days I hear your voice
And turn to see your face;
Yet in my turning...it seems
The sound has been erased.
Dad, who will I turn to for answers?
When life does not make sense;
Who will be there to hold me close?
When the pieces just don't fit.
Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time
And once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all the dads
You would still be my choice.
Please always know I love you
And no one can take your place;
Years may come and go
But your memory will never be erased.

Love and miss you dad
for you dad ....God saw you getting tired,
A cure was not meant to be,
So he put his arms around you
And whispered come with me.
With broken hearts we loved you,
As we heard you'd passed away,
Although we loved you deeply
We could not make you stay.
Your golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best!
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone,
A part of us went with you
The day God took you home.
A million times we'll miss you,
A million times we'll cry,
If love could have saved you
You never would have died
No farewells were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why.
If tears could build a stairway,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again
miss you dad xxxxx
When you feel Lonely
When You feel Lonely
When a person you love passes away
Look to the night sky on a clear day.
The star that to you, appears to be bright,
Will be your loved one,
Looking upon you during the night.
The lights of heaven are what shows through
As your loved one watches all that you do.
When you feel lonely for the one that you love,
Look to the Heavens in the night sky above
for our grandad dave

The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning that God
Was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone;
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide;
And though we can not see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
for you grandad dave we love you
