Dad was complaining of pains in his stomach but the stubborn old swine that he was would not go to
the doctors, four days later I went to see him and was shocked at how much weight he had lost. He
was in pain and his skin was a pale yellow.

Our Andrew phoned the doctor to come and when he got there he said there was some thing wrong with
his kidneys and was told he would have to go to hospital.He said after his sunday dinner,(only way
he would go).lol
After a week in hospital me my mam and our Andrew were told to come to the hospital it was friday
the 17th october.We were told to wait in the little room then 40 minutes later my dad came in,then a
couple of minutes after that the Doctor and a nurse came in shut the door and closed the blinds.
My dad was told he had secondary liver cancer and told there was nothing they could do he only had a
couple of months left.
I felt my life drain from my body.
He said he wanted to go home and the Doctor said that it was fine,so we took him home and he loved
been with his family for those last few days. he died peacfully on the 30th of october 2008 less
than 2 weeks after leaving hospital,not 2 months - 2 weeks.
But he was still the joker to the end and I am proud of him for that.

He leaves my mam Doreen of 41 years together and 3 sons me our Andrew and our Derek who turned out
ok through him.
5 granchildren and sisters and brothers nephews and neices.
we all love you dad and you will be missed every day I just wished I told you that I loved you when
you were alive.
Our linda is up there with you and she`ll keep eye on you so don`t be afraid.We will always love you
dad.

p.s can I just say that Sunderland Royal Hospital has to be the worst Hospital in the North East
for care as we were told nothing. My dad said he had nothing to eat for 2 days until I comlained
then he was given soup.If you have any family in there get them out.This hospital is a joke
