Dad was hard working and devoted to his family. He adored his two grandsons and was happiest when they all went out for the day.He suffered with ill health all his life and he had his limitations but he lived his life to the full. He loved to help others and he was an officer in the Falkirk sea cadets then moved on to become an area officer at HMS Gannet in Ayr still working with teenagers and gave up alot of his weekends to them. He also was one of the people that helped set up Yogi's Sobar for the teenagers in Grangemouth. He believed in helping young people to achieve the best from themselves. He started his working life in Grangemouth dock yard, but worked in the BP for 21 years before he left to become a Electrical manager with various other companies. He had a steel valve put in his heart but he still went back to work. Then he took kidney failure and had to go onto a machine but he still tried to keep his life as normal as possible. He never gave up. When he got to ill to walk places him and my Mum used to go for runs in the car mostly to Queensferry and get a cup of tea. Then they would watch the boats. I miss him still as do my boys they still talk about their "Boys day out" which was every saturday. He was always there to help us out when we were first married but was always very careful (as he put it) not to impose. We love & miss you dad.xxxxxx

Missing you

Our thoughts are ever with you
Though you have passed away.
And those who loved you dearly
Are thinking of you today.

>,","<
On the wings of a memory I saw a vision of you there,
With rainbows in your eyes and heaven's light in your hair.
I reached for your hand just one more touch,
Is it asking for a miracle is it asking too much?
I feel your presence on the wind
Just one more time to have your laughter ease the pain.
To see that wonderful grin on your face,
To have your smile light up even the darkest place.
If it were possible, I'd pray you back home with the dawn.

I'm Still Here

Please don't mourn for me
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day
and within your heart I long to stay.

My body is gone but I'm always near.
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.

I'll never wander out of your sight-
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach-
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.

I'm the colourful leaves when fall comes around
and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.

I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.

When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
you can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.

I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, I'm everyplace!
xxxx

The Best Dad

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you
And He whispered “Come to Me”

With tearful eyes we watched you.
We watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard-working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He chose to take the best.

It’s lonesome here without you
We miss you more each day.
Life doesn’t seem the same
Since you have gone away.

When days are sad and lonely
And everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear you whisper
“Cheer Up and Carry On”

Each time we see your picture
You seem to smile and say,
“Don’t cry, I’m in God’s hands,
We’ll meet again someday!”
