READ TRIBUTES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well it has been a year since my pops passed so many poeple have shown me and my family so much
support through this page i would like to thank each and every one of you for helping keep my
grandads memory going strong our ove and thoughts are with you all xxxxxxxxxxxx
cyril was one of eight children he was married to his wife eileen for over fifty years they had
eight children of their own they had over twenty grandchildren and great grandchildren
cyril had C.O.P.D which is a lung disease
cyril was my grandad not that we called him that often, it was always pops he was our pops!!!!!
My pops was one in a million i know every body says that but he really was i am not saying that he
was perfect because nobodys perfect !!
He could be the most miserable sod that you would ever meet at times but he was funny with it. He
was always giving his grandchildren nicknames, he loved to go to the pub and see his mates like he
did the night he died. He liked a little flutter on the horses he gave up betting on the dogs after
a night at the dog track and the dog he backed died at the finish line he never went back after that
hahaha
There is 50 years age gap between him and myself but we always made time to go to bingo together
every week god i miss my nights in the bingo hall with him!! He was a very much loved man by his
friends as well as his family his funeral was attended by over 200 people not bad for a man that
rarely went outside of wandsworth. He was a fulham fan all his life that has rubbed off on to some
of us now that he has gone i have even had a fulham tattoo with pops under neath as my tribute to
him! on special occasions like fathers day and the day of his funeral we realise balloons not just
any old balloons f.f.c ones i think he would have liked that. He loved each of his children and
grandchildren alike but he wasnt really one for showing his feelings so i am not sure if he actually
ever told them those three little words we all want to hear maybe he did one time or another when he
was a bit tipsy.
my grandad was quiet an active man right up till six months before he died at which point he started
to detiorate he went from a man that got 2 busses a day to a man that couldnt do a thing for himself
he didnt want nurses he said that somebody needed them more than him so it was up to us as his
family to care for him not that we would have had it any other way we cared for him right till the
end!!!
i have great memories of my pops as do all our family of days out when we were little to his little
strops
The most vivid memoery that i have i am afraid is the night before he died i had to take him to the
hospital i rang my auntie jackie to meet me there (his youngest daughter) after running a few tests
they informed us that there was no more that they could do for him and asked us to decide whether we
wanted to take him home or to have him admitted we thought it was only right that my nan should be
the one to make this descion but she couldnt she said \"it has to be his choice\".
So i had to be the one to tell him that he was dying and that he had roughly between 2 days and 2
weeks his words were short and simple take me home babe
so we did and we fullfilled his last wish of taking him to the pub he didnt drink as he wasnt able
to swallow he just went to say goodbye he was there ten minutes and he wanted to go home to bed so
took him home and got him comfortable it was ten oclock at night by half past 12 that night he
looked at us and said its too much for you girls i am gonna go and within seconds he stopped
breathing our pops was gone never to returned. i wil remeber those words till the day i die and am
reunited with him so will the other 4 people that was in the room with him i think .
I would just like to be able to say thank you to him for being our pops
love you forever you was and always will be MY HERO
To Cyril.
Dear Cyril.
I did not have the pleasure in meeting you, but i was engaged to your lovely daughter Princess. (Lesley.) You knew the pain she suffered in her life.
Well she too has left us to join her dad and sister (diane) in Gods lovely garden in the sky. so please can you keep your eye on her for me, and make sure she suffers no more pain. Thank You Cyril.
God bless you both.
Paul.
Sad Days
Death is nothing at all
Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I and you are you,
whatever we were to each other, that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone,
wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow,
laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Pray smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort,
without the trace of a shadow in it.
Life means all that it ever meant,
it is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity,
why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you
somewhere very near
just around the corner.
All is well.
Pops look after Auntie Lesley as i know you will

Pops Happy Birthday
Hope you Had A good One Up Their Love You Loads!
I'll be one tough act to follow
Here today, gone tomorrow, but you'd have to walk a thousand miles...
In my shoes, just to see, what it's like, to be me
I'll be you, let's trade shoes, just to see what it'd be like to
Feel your pain, you feel mine, go inside each others' minds
Just to see, what we'd find, look at stuff through each others' eyes
Love You Always Be Proud x
Just For YoU
