Born 3rd April 1932 - Died 19th January 1998
Aged 65
Leaves Wife - Margaret,
Sons Ian, Paul & Nigel and Daughter Mandy.
Also Son-in-Law David and Daughters-in-Law Jenny & Terri.
Grandchildren Kelly, Sam, Ricky, Sarah, Michele, Ryan, Jade, Beau & Breeze.
I'm sure my Grandad will be missed by his other family members, many friends and their families.
Grandad died suddenly after suffering a heart attack at home on the morning of 19th January 1998.
He was only aged 65 and was strong for his age, he had only just retired a few months previously although refused to stop working, he found himself a little job near his home.
Nan & Grandad moved down to Devon from West Drayton in London in 1988 to a lovely house they hoped to retire in. He continued to commute to work from Devon to Heathrow Airport where he worked for Air Canada. It was from Air Canada he retired at the time of his sudden passing, so he never actually had the time to enjoy any of his retirement. My Grandad worked very very hard even towards his retirement age.
We used to think Grandad was miserable because he moaned all the time but now I've got older I can see why he moaned, he was probably very tired!! So sorry Grandad!!
Grandad had the nick-name Greengrass as he looked just like the character out of the TV programme HeartBeat!!
Grandad we love & miss you even now although 8 years have passed since you left us, it seems like yesterday.
Kelly now has 1 DAUGHTER - Amber, Sam has 3 DAUGHTERS - Ashlee, Ocean, Skie and SON- Aidan, I am now married and have 3 DAUGHTERS - Zulekha, Arifa & Ruqaya.
Nan misses you dearly as well as your Children xxxx REST PEACEFULLYXX
******************************
Open up the gates of Heaven
to let my Grandad rest
He worked too hard throughout his life
then passed away at sixty-five.
My Grandad was a much loved man
who was known as 'GreenGrass'
His family and friends will miss him dearly
now his time has come to pass.
My Grandad died so suddenly;
at least not in much pain
If I could have just one last wish
to bring him back again.
What I'd give to hear him moan
no-one could ever know
Hello Grandad shining up there ~
The Brightest Star from Home.
(This poem was written by myself when my Grandad died).
HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY GRANDAD XX
Happy Heavenly Birthday Grandad! I hope you have a magical day up there and Dad is not playing any tricks on you!!
I miss you both so much and often think back and remember the memories.
You'll never be forgotten Grandad, sometimes I can't wait to join you both up there, but not whilst my children are so young.
Love you forever Grandad, I'll buy some Birthday flowers today for you.

11 years ago today you died xx
Hello Grandad, well it has been 11 years now since you have been gone and i still miss you. I have been thinking about you, Dad and the family alot lately but i even thought of you today as i was buying a loaf of bread - aw Grandad guess what? I can cut it now!!!! I remember at the dinner table i would always ask you or Nan to cut me some and you would always say 'when are you going to learn to cut it yourself? It's easy'!!
I will always remember you, see, even by getting out my bread now!!
Well, now you have Dad up there with you just stay close together and with Great-Nan and wait for us to get there. In the meantime please look down and watch and guide us all safely.
Thinking of you on this anniversary Grandad.
Lots of love from Sarah xxxx
Right now I'm in a different place
And although we seem apart
I'm closer than I ever was
I'm there inside your heart
I'm with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I'm there to share the sunsets too
I'm with you every night
I'm with you when the times are good
And if a tear should start to fall
I'll still be there for you
And when the day arrives
That we are no longer apart
I'll smile and hold you close to me
Forever in my heart
Sorry ive not been on for a while but due to PC playing up and other probs not been possible.
My Love to you and your loving family xxxxx

Your Birthday is drawing near Grandad x
Hello Grandad, i hope you're ok up there with Dad. It's your Birthday in a few days, you would be 76! I can't believe that, you died when you were only 65 so to me, i think you'll always be 65 in a way! You always seemed younger than your age anyway. I think that's why it was also such a shock when you passed away, as you weren't old or ill, just a massive heart attack unexpectedly.
It will also be my Birthday on the 6th, along with Uncle Des' so wish him a happy birthday up there!
I have to go to Hospital tomorrow (31st) and i'm absolutely terrified. I suppose i have to get it over with, no good me putting it off.
Well, i'll be back soon Grandad. In the meantime, look after Dad and i'll write again soon. Love Sarah xxxxxx
10 YEARS TODAY SINCE YOU WENT AWAY
Hello Grandad, i hope you're ok up there. I can't quite believe that today is 10 years to the day that you gained your precious wings and flew to be with the angels in Heaven. I think God decided your time was up and you worked too hard so it was time for Him to call you Home to rest forever.
I miss you now still like it was yesterday. I still have many happy memories of being with you and Nan, staying with you for school holidays and living with you. I'm grateful that you done so much for me.
I can not believe 10 years have crept by, I'll remember you silently and happily, deep in my heart.
You now unfortunately for us, but grateful to you have my Dad with you, you will always be together now in Heaven. Its's so sad how things have turned out, but I know in my heart, that i will always carry both of you in my heart and my mind forever. Goodnight Grandad, God Bless. Sleep tight and don't keep the other angels awake with your snoring! Loving and missing you, Sarah xxxxxx
May the Stars carry your sadness away
May the flowers fill your heart with beauty
May Hope forever wipe away your tears
And above all may silence make you strong.
NEW YEARS EVE
Morning Grandad, New Years Eve is now upon us. I hope you can have a little celebration up there with Dad and all the other angels.
I've told Dad that my Ruqaya has chicken-pox so hopefully you both can watch over her and make sure she gets better soon.
I'll be with Dad tonight having a little drink to see in the New Year.
Take care Grandad, thinking of you. It's almost your anniversary since you left.
Lots of Love Sarah xxxxxx
