Dad was a happy and funny man, always cracking jokes and making you laugh his sense of humour was second to none and we love him dearly.

James started his working life at just 14 working in the pits such as marley hill and wardley this is where he was effectionately known as Joe. after being made redundant he became builder's labour both locally and in stoke on trent.after leaving the building trade he joined the NCB as a shunter until his retirement.

When his grand-daughter sharna died in march 2000 it seemed to be the end of his world. Sharna was the apple of his eye,his little princess was gone laughter and sunshine gone,all he wished was they had taken him instead of her as he had lived his life and she had not he did not think this was fare.

So many little things every day remind me of Dad (Joe)whenever I pass the betting shop when he used to send me to put his bets on or collecting his winnings watching his favourite films or finding one of books.


love you loads Joe
miss you always forget you never.
