Born 6th March 1952 Died 13th March 2007 age 55.

A dear partner, dad, grandad, son, brother, uncle and friend. Whenever anyone needed anything you
were always there, nothing was ever too much trouble. You lived your life around family, friends
and fishing. Anything the grandkids wanted they would usually get, you spoilt them rotten and loved
every minute of it. Christmas and birthdays will never be the same without you there to entertain
the kids. They loved playing games with you and spending time with you in general. Pantomines, days
out at the seaside, visits to the cinema- these are just some of the things the kids loved to do
with you.
For us you have always been there to lend a hand whether it meant picking the kids up from school,
babysitting when they were ill, fetching things in your van or just advice. I have several completed
projects in my house that you helped (very patiently) with. Every time we attempt a project now, we
can hear your voice as we try to decide the best approach. Sometimes I imagine I can hear you
laughing as we attempt something for the third, fourth, fifth time. I know you got the most out of
your life because I can't ever remember seeing you without a smile. When I think of all the things I
know you still wanted to do in your lifetime I feel sad. Hopefully we will be able to keep most of
your traditions going, and fulfill some of your dreams for you. We will certainly try. Always loved.
In our hearts forever xxx.

You were taken from us without any of us getting the opportunity to say goodbye. For this I will
always feel regret. My only comfort is that you never knew your time was up and you lived your life
to the full. Sometimes I think about all the things I would have liked to have said to you, knowing
that I will never get that chance really hurts . I think about all the times when I will really miss
your presence, especially when we visit your house and everything is still the same but without you.
This is when I realise what a big part of my life you really were and what a big hole has been left
. You were the kindest and funniest man and hopefully in time I will be able to remember you in this
way instead of the terrible sadness and pain I feel now. I imagine you sat in heaven now with your
fishing rod in your hand. You are my dad and I am your daughter, for this I will be eternally
grateful. I owe you so much.
God bless, sweet dreams xxx


My Precious Dad

I Wish I Could See You One More Time
Come Walking Through My Door
But, I Know That Is Impossible
I Will Hear Your Voice No More
I Know You Can Feel My Tears
And You Don’t Want Me To Cry
Yet, My Heart Is Broken
Because I Can’t Understand Why
Someone So Precious Had To Die
I Pray That God Will Give Me Strength
And Somehow Get Me Through
As I Struggle With This Heartache
That Was Caused By Losing You

In Precious Memory Of Chuck
Who Walked Through Heaven's Gate
