Loving son of Florence & Thomas Charles
My Dad was known has Tony, Macca, Rab C Nesbitt, Jim Royal & Uncle daddy
My Dad was a loving dad to Samantha Ellen Stephanie & Charlotte Grandad to Emily & Chloe Husband to Irene Son to Florence & Thomas Brother to Christine Florence Milly Hetty Pat Jean Lilly Kathleen Peter Jackie David Thomas & Kevin uncle to many & cousin to many
He was a kind & caring gentlemen
He was a loyal family man. The youngest of 14 children my dad lived for his family
I'm very proud to say he's my dad he was always there for us when ever we needed him even when he was ill he did his best. My dad was the best the only one i ever wanted i couldn't ask for better dad he was all i ever wanted one in a million
He got his wish well he was in Preston hospital from his oldest grand-daughter Emily to call him grandad before he passed away
He was born in Bradford but moved to Morecambe in 1997
He wouldn't see any one go without anything if he could help
I have been told many stories off the family about my dad how he thought he had bought my cousin from storke stamps well he was only about 5 at the time, When my auntie milly & Uncle gordon got married my dad was stood at the bottom of the bed talking he wouldn't go away so my auntie milly knocked on the wall and told him that the ghost was coming for him he replied by shaking the bed and telling her they were coming for her, As the youngest of a big family my dad found it easy to con his brothers & sisters saying he had lost his money it was only when my nan took the carpet up they found where he had been hidding his pocket money and then there's the fact when he used to go into town with my uncle gordon he used have to buy him an ice scream for each hand and if he could have used his feet i'd say he'd do that one too he always got a toy every time they went.
When growing up my dad worked on a building site up barker end in bradford and some times if there weren't much on for work we would go with him every night when he had finished work he always went and got us our treats he always got us a bottle of cola panda pop strawberry doughnut and a packet of strawberry chewits and every friday when the milk man came we always got a bottle of fresh orange juice and a pint of fresh milk i miss them days when we were young every thing was normal then but every thing changes it cant always stay the same but it will never stop the pain i love him so much
My Dad got Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma in November 1999 it started as a small lump on the left side of his neck then ended up the size of a tennis ball he had chemotherapy and radiotherapy to try help but it didn't help it made him weak my dad was a proud man never moaned when in pain & still tried to do stuff for the family. My dad knew his time was coming to an end and went round friends and family making them promise they would look out for us he even said what music he wanted playing at his funeral the songs were Queen Who wants to live forever, Robbie Williams Angels & Whitney Houston I will always love you. He was buried in blue jeans & a bulldog T-shirt thats how i remember him he was never one for fancy suits unless it was some thing special he hated wearing tie's i love him so much and miss him always i wish he was here with us today
He was well looked after by the McMillan staff at Lancaster and also the staff from St Johns Hospice they have hearts of gold
When my dad had his check up's at the hospital him & his consultant would rather sit & talk about the rugby they spent more time going on about that than they did any thing else my dad wasn't bothered about what was happening with the cancer just how things were going in the rugby
My Dad was born in Bradford But sadly on the 6th March 2001 7pm he passed away with his family by his side at St johns Hospice Lancaster

He wasn't a hero,
Known by the world.
But a hero he was,
To his little girl.
My daddy was God,
Who knew all things.
And better than Santa,
With the gifts he'd bring.
I knew his voice,
Before I could speak.
And loved it when,
He would sing me to sleep.
He changed my nappies,
And sat up all night.
When my body was weak
And I'd put up a fight.
He'd come home late,
With not much to say.
And made us all kneel,
As he taught me to pray.
He taught me life's lessons,
Of right from wrong.
And instilled in me values,
That I might be strong.
And so through the years,
Like a hero he stood.
Working to give,
All that he could.
His presence was important,
And we loved to see him smile.
For no one in the world,
Could emulate his style.
And so dear Dad,
My best memory to recall.
Is the gift of your presence,
The greatest gift of all.
wish you was here with us today & always had a good day but still not the same without you here with us wish i could have seen your face opening presents love & miss you always dad merry christmas always in my heart i will never forget you thanks for all you have done xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx R.I.P my sweet angel love you dad with all my heart xxxxxxxxxxx

A Father means so many things...
A understanding heart,
A source of strength and of support
Right from the very start.
A constant readiness to help
In a kind and thoughtful way.
With encouragement and forgiveness
No matter what comes your way.
A special generosity and always affection, too
A Father means so many things
When he's a man like you...
