My grandad was an amazing man who knew about so many different things and taught me so much.
He loved his canaries and would spend hours in the shed when I was little and then come into the kitchen with seed all over him and in his hair.
He loved cooking, especially his currys.
If he made you one, he would serve it to you in a big pyrex dish, with extra helpings.
Grandad fell ill a few years ago and suffered a stoke and several heart attacks. He was on the waiting list for a heart transplant.
Although he was ill, and always having to keep hospital appointments, he was always smiling and forever making jokes and making people laugh. He was lots of fun and a special man.
You would always hear him coming before you see him because of his crutches.
He once even left them in the chinese shop without realising, so we had to go back and get them the next day.
If grandad had something on his mind, he would say it.
He always told the truth as it was, he never wrapped it in cotton wool.
I respected his honesty and knew that if I ever needed anything, I could ask him for help.
Grandad found it hard to come to terms with the death of his only son Danny in January 2007 and it hit him very hard. Now they are together again and we all miss them both so much. We have lost two very special people in the same year.
He was so much fun to be with and his moaning was legendary and hilarious, we liked to wind him up to hear his funny sayings.
He used to take us grandchildren to and from school after he retired from work and to London for the day, those memories of time spent with him are so precious to us. We were lucky to have him for our grandaddy.
This site is for everyone who ever knew my grandad, to record their memories of him. Itis a celebration of his life.
Please feel free to light a candle.
You are missed dear grandad, by so many, we love you x

HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND YOU AND LIFTED YOU TO REST
GODS GARDEN MUST BE BEAUTIFULL
HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST
HE SAW THE ROAD AHEAD WAS ROUGH
AND THE HILLS WOULD BE HARD TO CLIMB
SO HE CLOSED YOUR WEARY EYELIDS AND WHISPERED
"PEACE BE THINE "
IT BROKE OUR HEARTS TO LOSE YOU
BUT YOU DID NOT GO ALONE
FOR PART OF ME WENT WITH YOU
THE DAY GOD CALLED YOU HOME

It is God who enables you to love even though your heart has been broken time and time again.To sit calmly when you feel like throwing up your hands in frustration. To be understanding when nothing seems to make sense, To share your feelings with others . Because sharing is neccassary to ease the load . ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE because God makes it so ...... Love Hugs Kisses From Tina Always x
I was watching the olympics today, and was watching the acrobats and gymnastics and remembered when we used to watch it when I was little =)
I dyed my hair today, I don't think you would like it though lol, I'm going for pure white, but its abit yellowey at the moment haha!
I miss you so much =(
love you lots xx
It doesn't get any easier dad...sunny days, cloudy days, wet and windy days...it doesn't really matter.
I miss you so much and so do Alix and Leah. We talk about you every day and I am so glad that they have so many lovely memories of you in their heads and hearts.
Leah breaks up from school today and she feels so sad that she won't be able to go and stay with nanny and grandad and spend afternoons watching the horseracing and bettting with fruit.
What have you done to my girls dad???? They are both horseracing mad!!!!!!!
I feel you here and I know you're looking out for us all but I miss you so much dad and wish wish wish all the time.
Love you.

I'm beginning to understand life less and less everyday. When I was younger I used to think I had the world all figured out but now as time goes by I realise that its all too confusing and my thoughts change day to day.
You used to tell me that I was going to go places, that I was the one that was actually going to be somebody.
Now your not here,I've taken a 360 degree turn around the sharpest corner of life. I am so confused with everything. Im beginning to question all of my goals and aims in life.
Life is getting too complicated, to the point where I am just living day by day,completely careless to those around me. Though I feel as if I have everything in life that a girl could ask for. I just have this emptiness inside of me, and I dont know how to fill it.
The big roller coaster of life. where and when will this roller coaster stop? Nobody knows, not even myself, all I know is I am ready to get off now.
Some days I just wish that I could be totally oblivious to the world.These days spent by myself in my room, not caring to go downstairs and talk to anyone, keeping myself to myself, wishing it would all end and go away.
I used to be a caring person, I would do anything for anyone but now it's as if I have no cares and dont care what people think of me anymore.
I don't think that I will ever understand this roller coaster and why I was chosen to take this ride.
I don't know if it will ever even come to a complete stop, but until it does I guess I will just keep feeling this way inside.
I miss you so much, I wish you was still here, to give me guidence, to tell me what to do, to give me something to aim for.
Everything seems so pointless now.
I love you x
A poem for my grandad x
We will reunite one day in that clear blue sky,
and start over where we left off, with your silent goodbye.
It's almost been a year now and tears still fall,
but tears from a sorrowful heart seem to have no time at all.
We had a bond, not like one you'd find everyday,
I wish you were here, for this I really wanted to say.
Your face I still see clearly, your laughter is still in the air,
why were you taken away from us? It is more than unfair.
And now I must learn life not sure of knowing the way,
you promised to be here to help me, someday.
I feel lonely now, scared and unsure,
why can't you be here to help me through this dark door?
It was you,my grandaddy I loved and adored for so long,
but now I'm expected to move on and be strong.
I miss you more as the days go by,
sometimes I ask questions but can't help to cry.
Why were you taken out of my world in a blink of an eye?
only if I would have had a chance to say goodbye.
Life's different now it's just not the same,
I still try to remind myself no ones to blame.
You live in a memory now, a special place in my heart,
and I'll carry that memory close by me,
because there we won't ever have to part
THINKING OF YOU AND YOUR ANGEL WITH LOVE
