Steph’s favourite memory (second daughter)

I have 3 best memories of dad the first one being buying him his first scooter the look on his face was priceless as he got some of his freedom back because he was able to get out again and he went missing one day on it he decided to take himself to longton to buy 2 tables and he came back with them on his scooter between his legs x the second best memory was every Thursday when mum had to go work all day at buck-null hospital so every Thursday it would be dad and daughter day and we went somewhere different every week and he use to say thank you so much I have really enjoyed myself x my final best memory was every Christmas since I moved out of Tyson green he would buy me a cuddly Christmas soft toy and he said they were my children because I would never have any and he used to always write a letter and attach it to them asking if I would adopt them xx

Michaela’s Favourite Memories

I remember sitting with Grandad in the conservatory at Tyson Green, watching Tom and Jerry whilst talking to Grandad for hours. Riding our bikes around on the garages and getting J20s out of Grandad’s shed at christmas. Visits to the Club were always fun, especially at Christmas for the Panto’s. The trips to Wales and Blackpool each year will always be some of the best holidays I’ll ever have. Helping Grandad with his tomatoes in the greenhouse, eating them on my sandwich even though I couldn’t stand them. When Megan was born Grandad and Nan were the best Great Grand Parents and helped us in anyway they could. Megan loved going to visit Grandad and loved playing with the Meerkats! Visiting Grandad with Nan and Megan the day before he passed will stay with me forever, you looked the best you’d looked in years and I remember thinking Grandad had got through the hard part and I’d see Grandad again tomorrow, tomorrow never came. There’s not a day that goes by where I don’t think about you Grandad or I look at the meerkat you gave me and smile. We will always miss you and love you Grandad x

Marks Favourite Memory

My favourite memory with grandad has to be Christmas. Him and Nana would make it so special for us all. We all used to open our presents at the same time, Nana would make her famous gammon (that I still ask for today) and her trifle. I would sit in the dining room or conservatory with Grandad and he would let me have fizzy pop and all the snacks. Miss you. Love Mark xx

I am so sorry that I made you move into oakpriory I will always regret it cause it broke your heart but I couldn’t manage the house and look after you and I couldn’t ask everyone who moved us in to move us out again and the house sold within a week. We had our first grandson mark in September 1996 and then Michael in 1997 and Michaela our first granddaughter in 1999. We used to love taking them to wales and Blackpool on holiday then Brad and Courtney came along we adopted josh as our grandson in 2005 and then Alfie came along in 2007 we then adopted gracie in 2012 and Charles came along in 2013 you were overjoyed when we had our first great granddaughter Megan 26th may 2017, 37 years to the day we lost our bungalow that made that date a good day again you loved her to bits and she was the only great grandchild you met. You nearly met Roco but sadly you died on 2nd November2018 and he was born the night before your funeral on 25th November 2018. Miller then followed in 2019 and Eliza in 2020. Myles came in 2021 and Macaulay in 2023. Your other two grandsons arrived Archie in 2020 the only one with ginger hair like you and then Brodie in 2022 you would have loved them all. I never knew that Thursday night when I tried to give you a kiss but couldn’t reach and you said you aren’t getting in bed with me that that would be he last time I would speak to you and see you alive again you looked so well and we all miss you so all your children grandchildren and great grandchildren would have made you so proud how they have grown up to the men and women they are today but I am sure you know cause I am positive you are still around looking after us love you always xxxx

My favourite memory is Dad coming primary school telling the teacher I had the dentist but I didn't have an appointment he took me the old cannon cinema to watch Santa Claus the movie when it had just come out; it was a Thursday afternoon there was only me and grandad in there, we sat on the back row 🫶🎅. We also used to watch The Goonies and ET xxx
