My Dad sadly left us on the 25th June 2013, remembering him will be easy as I do this everyday, its the pain of loosing him that will never go away. Love and miss you dearly Dad, My Dad was a strong man and worked hard all his life, he had some very funny witty ways about him, he had a heart of gold but you knew when he was mad.. He was loved by many people who feel his loss, Nobody wants to lose their Dad, my Dad had always been there for me - he was the person who showed me what it means to take responsibility for your life, to be determined and to work for what you want. He was absolutely intrinsic to everything that 'family' means to me. A life without him seemed unthinkable, not only for myself, but for the whole family. Dad worked on the docks for many years before taking retirement to work part-time for John Grose, he was a regular at the Half Moon pub and the Felixstowe Labour Club.. These things happen to people every day, but you don't really understand how it feels until it happens to you.
