My dad Brian passed away at home suddenly on 24/03/08 due to an heartattack, aged 65.
Although born in Barne Barton he grew up in Honicknowle. After meeting and marrying my mum Beryl
they moved to Ernesettle where they have lived ever since.
Brian has 3 children Tracy, Paul & Glenn.
He also has 8 grandchildren.
Brian was the eldest of 11 children, 5 sisters & 6 brothers. Uncle & great-uncle to numerous neices
& nephews who all loved him very much.
Brian has spent most of his working life as a scrap metal merchant finishing his time with EMR
recycling where he was due to retire.
He was very well known in the local football scene having played for numerous teams. He loved to
watch his sons, brothers & nephews all playing for local teams.
My dad was a very loving husband, Dad, Grandad, brother,uncle & great-uncle.
He doted on my Mum, who was his life.
He loved all the grandchildren & loved spending time with them. His family was his life.
All the family are so devastated by his departure & miss him badly.
My dad was my security and I now feel so empty without him. If I had any worries he would always
tell me the truth. If I was upset he would always say to me "Tracy just smile" those words will
never leave me.
I love and miss you so much Dad. xxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi Dad,
Not long now until we go away. Looking forward to it. Especially the sun its always raining here. You would of been aching with the rain. I guess your feeling very fit now whwere you are. I hope you aint getting to drunk up there its no good for you, you know!!!!!
Mum was talking about what to do with your ashes today. I've think I've pursuaded her to keep them where they are I know she wants to be put with you when its her time to go.
I couldnt stand the thought of you being spread around. I would feel you where totally gone then and I dont like that thought.
I'll stop yapping now as I'm probably giving you a headache.
Love you always Dad

Hi Dad,
Dont know why Dad but just sat and cried for you today. Silly aint it?
It just sometimes hits me so hard when I realise I havent got a Dad here no more although your always in my heart.
When I see other people with there Dads or talking about them it makes me so sad.
Going to Turkey soon this is going to be so hard knowing you are not there to make us laugh and make me feel safe.
It will be good for Mum. She misses you so much I see it in her face and hear it in her her voice. She can talk about you more now which is good.
Love & miss you Dad

Hi Dad, haven't spoke to you in a while I've not had the strength to do so. Reading kieras messages just start me off again.
Had a great time at Cardiff seeing Boyzone, even though we got lost on the way home. I havent laughed so much since you've gone.
We went down Looe on Sunday for Kieras birthday. Paul & Corben came with us. It was a nice day although I know Mum found it really hard without you. She felt lost.
The first Fathers days came without you I found that really difficult but I kept myself composed for Mums sake. I hope you like the plaque I put in the garden for you.
Still finding it hard to believe you aint here no more.
Miss you so much Dad.
Speak to you later.
Lots of love Tracy Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

glenn xx
Love you Grandad
I miss you, Grandad, very much,
You gave my life a special touch;
You did get angry and you did get mad,
But when you were gone I was nothing but sad;
Now that you've left I feel there's nothing more,
A piece of my heart, I felt was torn;
I went to see you I really did try,
But I knew it would be our last good-bye;
I saw your Angel she opened my eyes,
Even since then, I'm not afraid to cry;
I carry your Angel here by my side,
It is in her, that I can confide;
I know one day we'll be together,
I will long for that day forever and ever xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx i misss you soooo much but i know we will meet againxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Dad,
I went too see the councillor it really helped. Didnt know I had that many tears left to cry but I did!
She has given me stratagies to use for when I am feeling really low So lets hope I can start to sleep and eat better now.
I am off to see Boyzone today In Cardiff. I am for the first time since you left Really looking forward to it.
I know when I hear the song ' No matter what' it will remind me of you, I know you liked that song. I will try to think of happy times when that comes on.
I have to go now I will let you know what the concert was like tomorrow.
Sleep well Dad
Love you lots
Tracy
