Georges death is a great shock to us all. He was loved and respected by all who new him. He idolised his kids and his 9 beautiful grand daughters, yes nine! he was a very lucky man, being showered with hugs and kisses when ever they saw him, which was nearly every day. Even at 84 he was fit and healthy, walking miles every day following his routine that he loved. Monday, a pint with Stan, Friday a pint with his brother Jack, the rest of the time spent with his grand kids and family. Monthly get togethers with his old work mates meant the world to him. George connected with people of all ages, made them laugh, sometimes hysterically , even to the point of wetting themselves. Some might say he had a good innings. The truth is his first innings ended when his lovely wife Ann died. He was enjoying life so much he was looking forward to making his century in his second innings. seeing him dancing with a cornflakes box on his head was worth a six,! . Despite taking his only daughter off him we were great mates. He drank my beer and stole my chair, educated me about the war and how things used to be. But you know , in the last few years as his grand kids have grown up and he has met all their friends, i think he was quietly satisfied that he had done his job and they were all going to have a great life. He was contented and didnt have a worry in the world. He set an example of kindness and tolerance that we have all learnt from. RIP the legend that is Grandad George
Hi grandad!
I'm sorry I havent visited you often, are you having a good time with nanny Anne? Are you also enjoying your John smiths haha.
I miss sitting by you on the sofa listening to u whistle and when you made me run around dads garden after dinner because you used to and I needed the excersice.
And those green liquorice you used to buy but no one ever liked them but you kept buying them anyway, and how me and sal and ell used to jump onto the shed while you sat on the sofa watching the TV. We used to dread you looking at us because we wernt aloud because of your plants.
We have loads of pictures around the house of you and nanny. I hope your both having a good time in heaven. We missed you a lot at Christmas.

Hi grandad,
I miss and think of you every single day, me and Chloe were having a chat about you the other day saying how much we miss you and how much you used to make us laugh so I thought I'd show you some love on here and read through your lovely messages.
All of your tributes are so lovely and show how much were all thinking of you every single Christmas, birthday, fathers day, new years day, every day!!
I only have good memories when I think of you, I always have a laugh to myself when
I think back. I miss all the chocolate you used to bring round every time you came for dinner, I havent had a boost since you last bought us all one I used to love them.
But of corse there's alot more that I miss about you than just the treats, I miss sitting next to you on the sofa listening to your stories making me smile and posing for pictures in sunglasses!
I could tell you were really happy, you knew you had a big family who loved you so much and would do anything for you, you were and still are soo soo loved by us all.
I can't believe it will be 2 years you left us next week, it's gone so quickly, I would do anything to have you back with us. But I know you are happy with nanny Anne in heaven which makes me feel so much happier.
Love you so much grandad, I will make sure I come and see you this week,
Miss you everyday, I will love you forever,
Lots and lots of love your granddaughter Becky xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thought about you alot today, had a look through my old photos and when all of us were growing up...some great photos that i will treasure forever.

Happy Fathers Day Dad
Just to let you know that I love and miss you more than ever. Happy Fathers Day to one very special Dad. I cant pick the phone up and say it, I cant go out and buy gifts for you like I used to so this is my only way of conveying my love and thanks to you for being amazing Dad. xxxxxxxxx

Happy Birthday.
Hi Gramps,
Happy Birthday, 86 today. Doesn't seem 5 minutes since we were going to the Wilsons last year to celebrate your 85th. What a year it's been. We all still miss you dearly and will be going for a little tipple later down the fieldhouse with as many of the family as I can round together for birthday drinks. If you haven't already done so it might be a good time to open your John Smith's and eat your fruit and nut. Did notice last time we were at the cemetry that all the sherry had gone!!! Or maybe that was me, wooops.
Sitting in YOUR seat on the settee writing this. it will always be your seat regardless of who else comes along and sits in it. Martin sometimes deludes himself that it's his but we know differently don't we.
Happy Birthday . Love you Lots. Jane xxxxxx
Happy new Year Mom and Dad
Another year starts without you but your memory doesn't fade. Our only comfort is knowing that you are sharing it together. Hope you enjoyed your little tipple we left you Xmas day and the Chinese lantern we lit for you at 12o'clock New years eve.
Love you both sooooooo much

miss you whistling away and your stories you used to tell. Will visit you tomorrow and check on your garden.
Love you loads and always will xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
One Year On
Can't quite believe how quickly this 12 months without you has gone. There's not a day gone by when I haven't thought about you and every time with love and happy memories.
A lot has happened in the last year particularly the last few months as you well know but it gives me reassurance to know that you are looking down on me and giving me love.Your picture hangs on the wall at home and i look at that face smiling out at us and know that your presence is still very much with us.
We talk about you often, Me, Martin, The Girls and we always end laughing.
Love you sooooo much Dad
