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

MY FATHER-IN-LAW BARRY

Dear Barry

I thought this would be really easy, but there are so many memories and things i would like to say, but i dont know what.
Yeah i know your probably laughing, me lost for words for once.
All i can say is if i had to pick a FATHER-IN-LAW, i am sure i would of picked you. I always felt that in a way that i had two dads not one. You taught me alot over the years but its hard to write it down on paper. I will hold them in my heart and everyday you will live on through that son of yours and your gran children.
I will always treasure the last 13 years of my life. Oh and just incase you get too bored i left you a crossword to pass the time. Yes after all these years i still cant complete a crossword. "ha-ha".

Love You Always

Your Favourite Daughter-in-law

LISA

HEY THERE POPS

Hey there you old git,
It`s your baby daughter here.

Just letting you know that life is pretty dull at the moment, which i`m sure you are aware off, and i blame you, it`s all your fault "ha-ha".
Just kidding POPS, how can i blame you, you couldn`t help being the worlds best DAD.

DAD you bought me into this world, well MUM did, but you helped, "ha-ha". Lets not go down that road, "ha-ha", anyway DAD this is the reason you are the worlds best DAD. You taught me alot of things about life and how to deal with good and bad things that happen to us, and that to always face things head on, and to never be afraid of anything, live life to the fullest, you always said that to me. You also bought me up never to do bad things and to never judge people who do bad things, if that makes sense. You said that everyone deserves a second chance and you are right, you were always right, you told me to always care for others more than myself. That not even half of things that you use to say to me.
I get told alot DAD that i`m a strong character and always know the right thing to say at the right time and the only person i can say i got that from was you, because you were the same, you always knew what to say to make me feel better about something but lets face it, MUM did say i was alot like you, "ha-ha", and there was me thinking i was the milk mans child "ha-ha".
We did have some laughs too DAD we did alot together and i mean alot and you have gave me some of the best memories i could ever ask for and i THANK YOU for that. I`m keeping to my promise that you asked me to do, I`m looking after MUMMY, now that you are no longer with us, she`s finding it really hard to be without you, we all are, but you and i both know that she will learn to cope, she will never forget you, but she will get through it, i will not let you down DAD, i will look after MUM. THANK YOU DAD for sharing 25 years of your life with me, i will never ever forget those 25 years, i know i will see you again one day and i will look forward for that day to come, hopefully its years to come tho
"ha-ha". REST IN PEACE DADDY. and give FRED a punch for me and tell him that we are gonna look after SUE too. I`m gonna miss you so much you old git.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

love your baby daughter KATRINA

My Precious Brother Barry

Barry you were so special to me and lots of others too,
If anyone could wrap me round their finger you know it'd be you,
My tears they won't stop falling no matter how much i try,
God took you in his loving arms before i could say goodbye,
I keep telling myself your suffering has now come to an end,
But my heart it just won't listen the break will never mend,
Although i didn't see you much as life got in the way,
My thoughts were always with you each and everyday,
When you were in the hospital and i couldn't make out what you'd say,
I told you i'd tell you i love you if i didn't understand in any way,
I'm glad i came up with that idea and believe that this is true,
It helped me tell you loads of times and it made you smile too,
The memories of you are locked in my heart and will stay precious my whole life through,
But i wish i didn't just have memories i selfishly wish i still had you,
When you are better and healed again don't forget that i am here,
Please come and comfort me when i cry and wipe away a tear,
A part of my heart went with you and i wont ever be the same,
Until i meet with all of you and piece it together again,
Sleep tight my precious Brother i'll miss you till my lifes end,
Then i'll come and join you and we'll be together again,
I will always love you Barry but an Angel you must now be,
And i will always thank God he sent a Bother like you to me,
Rest in peace Barry i will love and miss
you for the rest of my life as i will
Mum Dad and Fred God Bless you all
XXXXXXXXXXXX
