peter james flanigan passed away on the 1st of december 2000,he worked at smiths dock as a plater he lived in the boro,he was a very colourful charater. He passed away in his sleep with a heart condition that nobody knew about. I think the most important thing i have to say that he was my dad, my best friend and my hero.
When it happened it was all too sudden i didnt get a chance to say goodbye, even though he knew i loved him and i knew he loved me. My dad was from the old school, a true gent. I remember he took me all over as a child but my favorite trips where to Redcar beach, Stewarts park and Albert park,things that didnt cost money we packed a flask of soup in the winter time with sarnies or as a treat we would go to the Porthole cafe next to Albert park for a milky horlicks.
I know these things sound simple but it meant the world to know i was having this time with my dad, he would talk to me try to guide me in life every step of the way he said things for a reason he was always there but what fun we had even as i got older and had my own children he did exactly the same with them, grandy they called him. To be honest there is a terrible void in our lives because hes gone, i miss his smiling face his crazy sense of fun and the way he had this gift of always making bad situations seem not that bad.
The world is a lesser place because hes gone. I know he will be looking down and saying "come on tilly ann dont be daft smile its the best thing anyone has"Somebody wrote a poem and their name i forgot but in the middle of that poem these words say it all for me.
He was my north my south my east and west,
My working week and sunday rest,
He was my laughter my song,
I thought love would last forever,
I was wrong..
I love you dad x

always thinking of you
I thought of writing a poem that i found in a book but decided id rather say how i feel in my own words. There are so many things to say about what a wonderful person you are, So many memories that were shared, its funny because i can't think of a single bad one. But thats the type of man you were, always laughing always smileing you were too busy helping people with one problem or another you never stopped to think about yourself. That was you all over you were the most gentlest most caring person i know. You got your satisfaction out of life through helping people, a listenig ear here a bit of advice there you were a problem solver.Thats what mattered to you the most, If you could help anyone even if it was just that one person it was a day worth living in your eyes and your memory will always live on in those hearts you touched and those who cherish you the most. When i heard those words that you were gone, i could'nt breath you were my breath of fresh air, even though we didnt see you that often it didn't matter coz when we did i knew it was going to be a great day and id count the days till you were coming, some people pray for money others for cars i pray for just one more day to tell you how much i love you and what you meant to me, because what you taught me is that material things dont matter what matters is the little things in life like telling people you love them or it could be something as little as sayin 'Good morning' to a passer buy on the street just to see them smile and helping others in whatever way possible because thats what you get the real feeling of living from. I love it when dad tells me stories of when they were kids, like when you use to ask them if they fancied a walk out and you's would walk for miles to redcar or even saltburn but you would always keep them guessing all the way and never tell them were they were going. thats what made it fun for them it was the excitement of not knowing. You would pack up a few sarnies and be on your way with not a penny in ur pocket, thats what made it so special for them. You's would make your own fun up just having all of you's together is what counted. Im really missing you it breaks my heart im blessed to have had you in my life. I have my memories and thats what il be using to keep me comforted till we meet again, i miss you like crazy and i love you with all my heart grandad and always will now and forever your loving grandaughter kelly xxx P.S Take care of mam for me xxx
For my devoted husband Peter
It's been hard to be apart from you.
Each night when the world is quiet and still, the wonderful moments we have shared crowd my mind. Each day, as I go about my routine, you slip gently into my thoughts and make me smile.
Though we can't be together right now, we are together in my thoughts and memories forever, until we can be re-united again.
Your ever-loving wife

Remembering you, Dad
Peter James FLANIGAN (17 Mar 1938 to 01 Dec 2000)
A loved one is a treasure of the heart, and when I lost you, Dad, it was like losing a piece of me.
But the love that you brought, Dad, remains, for the essence of your soul lingers. It cannot escape my heart, for it has been there forever.
Remembering you, Dad, I cling to those memories and let them find their way to heal me; the love, the laughter, the joy in togetherness that we shared will make me strong.
Remembering you, Dad, I came to realise that in our time together, no matter how long it was meant to be, I was blessed to have had such a precious gift of love in my life.
Remembering you, Dad, keeps my heart beating with all the loving memories, and though life moves on the beauty of your love stays behind to surround and embrace me. You left that to hold in my heart forever.
Missing you always,
Your ever-loving daughter

IN LOVING MEMORY
I,m standing here remembering
As i so often do
The day that changed so much for me
The day i married you.
It,s still so very vivid
Every single part,
I know i had the person
I love with all my heart.
Our married life was wonderful
I never wanted more,
Than just to spend every day of my life
With the person i adore.
It was all i ever wanted
The joys went on and on,
That,s why it broke my heart in two
To find that you had gone.
I try my best to cope with it
But i find it hard to hide,
Life has never been the same
Since the day you died.
To Peter's daughter
What a beautiful tribute to your dad. It says everything that anyone could say about a father. May his memory stay bright in your heart and mind forever. I send you my best wishes. Your dad would be proud of you xxxx
