Bernie was a father to four daughters Jackie, Wendy, Elaine and Joanne and had six grandchildren,
Siobhan, Josh, Harley, Hannah, Kacey and Harry and one great Grandaughter Bailey. He was Married to
our Mum Selina, for 49 years and 7 months and sadly they never got to celebrate what would of been
their golden anniversary next March. My Dad Bernie as he was known to all his friends and family was
the best dad ever that a girl could ever wish for just like Mum is the best Mum and I'm sure my
sister's would agree. We all have such lovely memories of our childhood and that all thanks to what
excellent parents we have and now that we all have children ourselves hopefully, we can be as good
parents as they were to us. They were and always are there for us, supporting everything we do and
guiding us in the right direction to make the best decisions in our lives. Dad was a very friendly
man and was extremely popular in his community and his club that he use to go to with Mum every
Thursday. He got on with everybody that he met and was very close to all our Husbands and Partners
Trevor, Adrian, Ian and David. Dad lived life to the full and would love going to Dances and social
gatherings with Mum and all his Mates. Even when he was beginning to get poorly, he still would be
so postive about everything and never ever would he let anything get him down. He was such a loving
person and loved being surrounded by all his famaily and Friends. In his spare time he used to love
watching WWF Wrestling, Boxing, Gardening and doing D.I.Y. I think that was the worse thing for Dad
especially when he started getting poorly and his breathing was letting his down as he kept getting
out breath and couldn't enjoy the things he loved doing. Dad also loved animals and could often be
found in the garden feeding his Chickens, Budgies & Canaries and when I was little I use to help him
with them. I have nothing but fond and loving memories of my Dad as I'm sure we all do. Even now
when I think of him he makes me "Smile" as he always will. Unfortunately, the Cancer took a turn for
the worse in the last 3 weeks. Dad was Admitted to Mayday Hospital on the evening of Sunday 20th
September, after his body and face went yellow. He was then immediately Admitted and was diagnoised
with having cancer of the liver. The doctors tried everything in their power to prolong his life
even by putting a stent in that seemed to work for a bit. Dad was such a fighter but sadly after 3
weeks his battle unfortunatly, came to an end on Monday 12th October at 23:30pm. Age 76 5 months
and 2 days still such a young age, he was sadly taken away from us all. Dad you are always in our
thoughts and prayers 24/7. We miss you and love you loads always and forever. We have an empty gap
in our hearts that can never be fullfilled. You were such a unique Husband, Dad, Grandad and
Friend.

Lots Of Love From Your Loving Wife, Daughters, Grandchildren, Great Grandaughter , Partners &
Husbands

OUR LOVING FATHER

If Tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane, We would walk right up to Heaven and bring you back again.

No farewell words were spoken No time to say goodbye, You were gone before we knew it and only god knows why.

Our Hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow, What it meant to lose you no one will ever know.

But now we know you want us to mourn for you no more, To remember all the happy times life still has much more in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten we pledge to you today, A hallowed place within our hearts is where you'll always stay xxx
