Shad was the name which my Dad was mostly known by, he was given the nickname from his grandad when
he was a baby for being so small. Such a caring ,loving man who done everything for his family and
thought the world of his grand-children.
My Dad was taken from our family too soon, there were so many things we wanted to do. My Dad is so
sadly missed by his wife Joan, myself his daughter Joanne and 2 sons Keith and David. My 2 sons
Lewis and Kyle really miss their grandad as he always took them out and to the park. Grand-daughter
Emma and son in law Martin along with future daughter in laws Louise and Karen sorely miss him with
his jokes and happiness he brought. We all have such happy memories which we talk about all the time
to keep him with us.
When we go on holiday it's not the same without him there and the special occasions that come up.
Even just to hear his voice again would be a dream come true and hear him laughing with us.
My dad also left behind 7 brothers and sisters who dearly miss him and look back on lots of loving
memories which we all have deep in our hearts.
After being diagnosed with a tumour near to the liver my Dad was given the opprtunity of an
operation, which without the operation he would of possibly lived for 12 months. So to try and
prolong his time with us he went into Freemans Hospital at Newcastle for the 10 hour operation.
Unfortunately 6 weeks after the operation my Dad lost his battle. He went through many complications
and developed infections until he could battle on no more and his body gave up. At that time when
the machines had to be switched off I felt my whole world had caved in around me, it was so hard to
say goodnight knowing it was forever, at least until we meet again
Wish you were here
Hi dad, thinking of you today Dad, you were such a special grandad to Lewis and Kyle, and today on Kyles 9th birthday he wishes his grandad was here to celebrate with us. You were such a great guidance in there lives but we know you are still here with us, watching and caring.
In our thoughts always joanne, Marty and your loving grandsons Lewis and Kyle xxxx
On your 4th Memorial Dad
In my thoughts as always
It's been 4 years now Dad since the day we had to let you go,
On that day a part of me went with you and I don't think I will ever recover from that,
I know you couldn't take anymore, everything that was happening to you,
You just did not deserve it,
The most family loving man, A great dad to us and ever so loving grandad.
I miss you so so much, I watch home videos to hear you talk, but wish you were here to share our lives with us.
your memories live on in us all, I know you are watching over us at times when we need you and I believe you do guide us along in your own way.
Loving you and remembering you always
Your forever loving daughter Joanne, Marty and grandsons Lewis and Kyle xxxxxxxxxxx
A message from Mam For You Dad
The moment that you died
my heart was torn in two,
one side filled with heartache,
the other died with you.
I often lie awake at night,
when the world is fast asleep,
and take a walk down memory lane,
with tears upon my cheeks.
Remembering you is easy,
I do it everyday,
but missing you is heartache
that never goes away.
I hold you tightly within my heart
and there you will remain.
Love Always Joan your loving wife xxx
Remembering Dad
I know I am still with you
in your prayers, your thoughts, your heart
And though you cannot see me,
I will always be a part
of life's sweet celebrations
in those times when you reflect
on how, though things are different,
through our love, we still connect.
We'll see each other someday
when our spirits all are free,
until then, I am with you
because you remember me.
Loving You

Family Chain
Family Chain
We little knew 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,
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at 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
love always dad
Hi dad, soon be your birthday, can't believe how time is going by so quickly. Lewis and Kyle are growing up so much, wish you were here to see them, lewis is bigger than me now and Kyle still talks about you and wishes you were here because he loved chatting away to you.
Mam is pleased she is going to be a nana again, Louise is expecting a baby, you would of been chuffed for David and Louise with their first child on the way. But am sure you will be looking down on us all.
All my love as always Dad, your loving dughter Joanne, Marty and your 2 grandsons Lewis and Kyle xxx
