My daddy Barry was a very well loved family man, everyone he met loved him because he was a funny
man, he liked to play pranks on people, good ones of course, "haha". He loved life, he has been
through alot in his life but he always kept his head held high and never once complained of his
pain, he always cared for others more than himself, but that was my dad. My DAD was ONE of EIGHT
siblings, he loved his family, his mum GLADYS and his dad RON and brothers and sisters, BRIAN, BILL,
FRED, BRENDA, ANGIE, RAY and GARY. He thought alot and cared for his IN-LAWS too, JAN, LYNN, SUE,
IAN, JOHN, KATH and COLETTE. He also loved being an uncle to all his NIECES and NEPHEWS, i won`t
name them, because he has so many. "ha-ha". He has a very big family. He had 5 kids starting from
eldest is MAXINE, CRAIG, MARINA, RICKY and the youngest KATRINA, he thought the world of all his
kids and they thought the world of him. He specially loved his wife Mirrie, she was his whole world,
they did everthing together but thats how he liked it. Barry most proudest time in his life was when
his 7 gran children was born, AMY, TAYLOR, GEORGE, REECE, CALVIN, HENRY and ALEX who shares his
birthday with his GRANDAD BARRY, SEP 4TH, seeing all the gran children, it was the high light of his
life, he always use to say that he would not live to see his 1st granchild, he was proven wrong, he
got to see 7 of his gran children, BARRY was also aware before he died, that he has gran child
number eight on the way, who is now born and is called OLIVER, but little did my dad know that his
daughter MARINA was also having a baby, so BARRY now has a baby grand-daughter too called ISABELLE,
he also has a another grand child on the way form his son CRAIG and his partner CLAIRE, im sure he
has met these kids before we have and warning them about the family they are coming into, ha-ha. All
these gran children are from his daughter MAXINE and Barry SON-IN-LAW EDWARD, they have four kids.
The other four are from Barry son RICKY and Barry DAUGHTER-IN-LAW LISA, and a grandaughter from his
daughter MARINA. Barry very much loved his son-in-law EDWARD, as they had alot in common with there
FORMULA ONE RACING, everytime they saw each other, they always spoke of the racing, they loved it.
Barry also had much love for his daughter-in-law LISA, they always did there CROSSWORDS together and
they were forever arguing over the right answer for each question, but thats how they liked it,
because they were always laughing and joking with each other. Barry also has a future son-in-law
RICHARD, who he really admires and cares for, they were always talking about cars and mechanics and
odd jobs around the house, he called RICHARD his handy man. So you could say that life was pretty
much perfect for my DAD. He always said he was a lucky man, even being in Ill health, he still said
he was lucky. Which we all really loved about our dad. He was a very keen WEST HAM FAN, he loved his
football, he loved his sports, RUGBY, TENNIS, SNOOKER, DARTS, OLYMPIC GAMES and MOTOR BIKE RACING,
so you could say he loved all sports, but his all time favourite was his GRAND PRIX or FORMULA ONE
RACING. Every sunday was booked up, he would steal the remote and hide it, so know one changes the
channel, "ha-ha". The funny thing is, that we would watch the racing and my DAD would be asleep in
his favourite chair, then he moaned he didn`t get to see all the racing. "ha-ha". We have so many
funny things and memories of my DAD that keeps us going as a family, we are always laughing about
the good times, but that was my DAD, the Joker. He will be really really missed, it will never be
the same now he has gone. We know he would want us to live each day as it comes and to live life to
the fullest, like he did. He would always say "don`t take life too seriously" He made that clear to
us, when he was diagnosed with PARKINSONS DIMENSION. He will be happy to know that we are trying to
live our lives as normal, but i`m sure he understands that sometimes it`s just not that easy to go
on at times, but we are trying our best. We love you so much, you will never be forgotten and you
will always and forever remain in our hearts.

Rest In Peace now Daddy!

LOVE YOU

Hiya Baz

Well mate, it's my first birthday without you and I can't tell you how that feels. I know your wishing me a happy birthday, though and I suppose that will have to do.

I hope your OK up there with Dad, Mum and Fred and I hope your all having a drink for me today. Forget the crossword, switch off the F1, put your grandkids down and have a drink, will ya!!!

I know you can all see Dad & Mums grave and I know your all having a go at me for tidying it up and planting some flowers but it's something I've wanted to do for ages and it will allow me to get some nice photos.

With you gone for 8 months, Fred gone for 11 months, Mum gone for 11 years and Dad gone for 20 years it could be very easy to be depressed but I'm not - I bless the days and times I spent with each of you and I'll never forget.

I don't visit often but you know your always there in my thoughts.

Enjoy your drinks and have a great day.

See ya later Big Bruvver Baz,

Gary C

Thinking of you always

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you and whispered come with me,
With tearful eyes i watched you and saw you pass away,
Although i loved you dearly i couldn't make you stay,
A golden heart stopped beating hard working hands at rest,
God broke my heart to prove to me he only takes the best,
It broke my heart to lose you Bruv but you didn't go alone,
Part of me went with you the day God called you home,
A million times i've thought of you a million tears i've cried,
If loving could of saved you you'd still be by my side,
God please come and comfort me for i will always weep,
For the Brother i love so deeply but i just couldn't keep
Hope your ok hon love you lots xxxxxx

DADDY

Hey POPS, as you well know its my birthday today, 26 today, as you would say, i`m getting old, "ha-ha". I really missed you singing me a HAPPY BIRTHDAY today, you did that every year, i would wake up early and i would still be half asleep and at the top of your voice you sang to me, oh the good old days ay? "ha-ha". Just think POPS, that 26 years ago today, i came into this world and you had the pleasure of naming me, i remember the story that you asked MUM to name me KATRINA if i was a girl, and there i was, a baby girl and instantly i was called KATRINA, that was all down to you, because you heard the name from an AUSTRALIAN SOAP that was on the TV at the time and you straight away told MUM thats what name was gonna be if i was girl. See i don`t forget anything you tell me, "ha-ha". I LOVE YOU DADDY!
I wish you was here with me to celebrate my 26th birthday, but deep down i know you will always be with me, where ever i go, i may not be able to see you, but i know your`e there, because i can feel you around, it`s a strange feeling, but i just know it`s you. Specially on one of my low days, you are there telling me to grow up and live my life. I`m trying POPS, i really am, its just really hard that you are not here living it with me. LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU FOR MY BIRTHDAY CARD!

LOVE YOUR BABY DAUGHTER KATRINA
