This site is dedicated to my granda.. I know there has been more than 1 site for him.. but this is simply because we all want to write about him and tell people what he was like and how much he means to us.. So that itself should tell you how popular he was..
He has a wife kathy (my nana) 3 daughters angie (my aunty) lisa (my mam) and karen (also my aunty). and he has 2 son-in-laws David (my dad) and darren (karens husband). and he has 9 grand-bairns, Lisa's kids-Stacey (me) and David. Angies kids-Gemma, Rebecca and Chelsea. and Karens kids- Adam, Lee, Kelsey and Alicia. but my granda sadly didnt get to meet little alicia and hold her in his arms. But im certain his looked down on her and seen how beautiful and clever she is. when he was littler he lived with his mam and dad, 4 brothers and his sister.
My Granda died on the 6th of April 2005 from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). I cant tell you what he was like as a kid because to me he was my Granda, a loving, caring man with a heart of gold. He did love his green house though growing plants nd that. And he loved building and making things, he was very constructive and creative..
the bird house that he made is still out the back garden on the wall.. birds actuali did go in aswell but unfortunatley the lid fell off.. I would say and definitley think my granda was very wise.. if we asked him something we didnt fully understand he would tell us every little detail.. we would soon get bored and say aye okay granda ah understand now.. but he would still be babblin on even though we walked out of the citting room. we didnt do it to be ignorant.. we did tell him that it was okay he dusnt need to tell us anymore.. becoz we reali did love how he knew everything..
i will always, always remember when he was in the wash house hammering away at something, this was a sunday so all the family was in my nanas and grandas coz we always used to go round there for our sunday dinner.. but in anyway back to the story.. well all is we could hear was bang bang uyahh.. nd he walked into the kitchen put his hand under the cold water tap.. nd we were all like looking at him nd he says ah cort me nail.. then one of us went into the citting room for a look aye cant remember who tho.. nd the were shoutin erghh cum nd hav a look at me grandas nail.. so ah went runnin in nd ah cudda been sick becoz ah feel faint at the syt of blood.. so ah told him he should go to the hospital.. nd he said y nor man its arete.. nd start flippin his nail up nd down.. it was disgustin.. but that was me granda for ya he was as brave as out.. nd he wernt scared of anything.. especially spiders.. he always had to come nd pick thm up if the were in the house and throw them outside..
Me granda used to like a drink aswell he wasnt a heavy drinker though.. but ah can remember this one time when ah saw him cum stumbling down the street nd ah had to run up nd help him keep his balance til we got to the door.. nd ah did manage to get him to the door apart from he tripped over the step nd sent me nd him crashing through the front door and us banged heads in the process haha.. he got realli wrong off me nana though. naughty naughty granda.. ya problys might not remember that though ya were a bit drunk at the time haha..
one thing me granda was famous for by us grand-kids was his tesco half-coated chocolate biscuits.. we absoloutley loved them he used to put 2 packets on the windosil every mornin.. one for packet for me nd dave and 1 packet for becky and chelsea for our breakfasts in the mornin.. becoz we didnt live far.. we live over the road and angie nd them live next door to my nana nd karen nd them live just round the corner..
when aye was kicked out of skool and was bored i would go over my nanas nd sit and watch laurel and hardie wif me granda.. us used to have a right laff nd he was make is sum porridge or get me sum tea nd biscuits.. he was like that with all of us..
he truly is one in a million
we all wish you didnt have to go and that it wasnt your time.. but thats just the way life is.. missing you allways lots of love hugs and kisses your loving family xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

As i float along the milky way
I arrive at heavens door
And to my suprise theres people
And faces ive seen before
I feel happy and elated
A golden gate opened for me
As i step inside this place
Im amazed by what i see
Theres trees lined with gold
There flowers that never die
And teardrop dont exist
Im so happy, but i cant cry
Theres harps playing softly
And friends that i once knew
Hold out their hand to greet me
In the this land of sky blue
Theres a smell of the flowers
Its like nothing ive smelled before
Theres gold dust about my feet
And a welcome on my garden door
Yes i like this place called heaven
Even though i will miss you so
But i will visit you often
Even though you wont know
And as i thank my father beside me
For opening his golden gates
They toast a wine to greet me
The lord and my new found mates

If I had one last day
to tell you what's inside.
I'd tell you that i'm sorry
for all the times i've lied.
I'd tell you that i need you
to hold my hand today.
I'd tell you that I love you
I'd ask you, please to stay.
You'd look at me and smile
The way you always would.
And say I'd love to stay
If only I really could.
Then you'd laugh the way you did
Whenever i was blue,
you'd wipe my tears and whisper softly
Don't cry I Love you too.
If I had one last day
I'd love you from the start
I'd stop hiding how i feel
I'd say whats in my heart.
If I had one last day
I'd say my last good-bye
And that even though you are far away
In my heart, you'll never die.
As The Sun Came Up This Morning
I Watched You There Below
Your Hearts Seemed Oh So Heavy
But There’s Something You Should Know
I’m Not Gone So Don’t Worry
I’m Just a Step Ahead
and I’m With You Every Single Day
As You Rise up from Your Bed
I Am the Sun That Warms You
I Am the Moon’s Soft Glow
I Am the Stars That Twinkle
And Light Your Path Below
So When At Times You Miss Me
Just Look For Me I’m there
For You Cannot Hide My Spirit
It Is with You Everywhere.
