My dad sadly passed away on the 28th September after bravely fighting illness in Bradford Royal Infirmary. He was a devoted husband to pat and everything you could ask for in a father to darren, simon, lee, lynn, danny, dawn and the late terry. He was also a wonderful grandfather to katy, christopher, charlotte, georgia, mollie, megan, jack, aimee-leigh, ella, evie, sam and deacon. We will all miss him but the memories we have will last the test of time. He fought his illness with great dignity and just a few hours before his death we were planning the great escape from ward 21. He was a well respected man and a friend to many people, once you met him he was the kind of bloke who would stay in your memory and you knew you had been in the company of someone very special. He also leaves behind 3 daughter in laws caroline, tracey and paula who all proved a great source of comfort and help whilst he was in hospital. My dad came from a large family where he was the youngest child, he has now joined most of his brothers and sisters and his parents dorothy and ernest. My dads humour and kindness will never ever be forgotten and he will be in our hearts forever.
R.I.P. Dad xxxxxxx

This poem was a tribute to my father who died September 28,2009…
In my father’s hands, I breathe and smile…
In my father’s voice, I obey and learn…
In my father’s actions, I go behind him…
In my father’s faith, I love and care…
A father of few words with a thousand smiles…
A smile that brings me comfort…
A smile that shows no pain but love…
But he left me,
Because... he is now in his Father’s hands

My dad bought me 10p ice creams
His smile, his humour made me want to burst at the seams
My dad turned his hand at everything
bath times, anytime, I loved to hear him sing.
My dad loved lager but whiskey was his his soul
no matter how much he drunk fatherhood was his role
My dad grew tomatoes often by the vine
give him a pint anyday he really hated wine
My dad lived life everyday as though it was his last
when the time came for him god definately took him too fast
My dad would hate anyone making fuss
His heart and sole were definately aimed at us
My dad used to sleep always on our mat
His wife, his soul was our mother our pat
My dad was my guardian, my parent my mate
And If I never see you again I know its not too late.
love lee
Irvin Edmondson 1937 - 2009.

forgotten you never will be,
in my heart you are loved and belong.
God bless Irvin, rest in peace.
Love from your wife Pat,
and all your family
