He is much loved and will always be remembered by all his family.especially Children Michelle, Stephen and Julie. in-laws John and Sharon. and grandchildren Mark, Kyle, Kelly, Craig, and Ryan.
Little did we know that morning
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
you are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
If we could have a lifetime wish
and one dream that could come true
We would pray to God with all our
hearts just to see and speak to you
A thousand words won’t bring you back
We know because we’ve tried
and neither will a million tears
We know because we’ve cried
You’ve left behind our broken hearts
and precious memories too
But we’ve never wanted memories
We only wanted you..

Dad thinking of you this Christmas just like i do every day,
I know you will be having a happy Heavenly Christmas because you will all be celebrating the birth of jesus.
No one knows dad how much i love and miss you, no one knows i often shed a tear for you, no one knows how lonely it is with out you, thats because no one had you as there dad.
I often wish i could turn back time and say all the things i never had the chance to say and to give you the biggest hug ever and tell you how much i love you and how proud i was to call you my dad.. i will never forget you dad, i love and miss you so so much... love your ever loving daughter Michelle XxX (((((HUGS)))))
When I close my eyes, I think of you
And now I know your up there in the sky
That’s why its so blue
But you should know that if I cry
Its because I love you
We all know that you are gone
But really your just being born
Because from here to thereon
You are being recreated in heaven
I promise they will take good care of you and
I will have it be known of what I’ve sworn
Because I love you
The angels will take care of you
But you will take care of him, her, and me
As you watch our daily lives and help us through
That’s just how it will be
And we will always be thinking about you
Because we love you
You’re not just a memory
You’re a spirit inside all of us
So vibrantly alive
And you will continue to thrive
Until we meet again in that place that seems so distant
But I know its existent
Because God loves us
You fought your fight
You won your battles
But this time God has other plans to make it all right
So just follow that bright light
And it will all be okay because
You are just saving us a seat
Because you love us
