Seeing your photo on this website brought hundreds of special memories flooding back to me. I can remember you sitting in your chair (just like the photo) as if it was yesturday with my Grandad (Ernie) holding your cans of lager and listening to your records, then for a little snooze. You always made me laugh uncle Bill when you used to do the magic tricks and i would always nag you to tell me how you did them. You were always there for me Uncle Bill and i miss you dearly, but i know you and Grandad are up in heaven watching down on us all. Always in my heart never forgotten. Your loving niece Joanne

to care for billy,not only in medical terms but really care for him,was an opportunity none of us at farmborough would have missed. we are all here to rember billy and to pay our respects to him and his family ,you are in our thoughts and we grieve with you. billy has lived with us for the last four years and in that time, although short, we got know him and his habits. others thought that he just slept in his chair unaware of what was going on,but thats untrue. billy was very aware of his surroundings and of other people living there. he knew when someone had passed on, he missed them and grieved for them. he loved to talk about his days as a footballer for the local leagues, billy had a fine pair of footie legs and we would tease him about them. his love of the game has been passed on to other family members and billy was really proud of that. he looked forward to going out with his family to the sun inn at southwick on a saturday, he was always ready an hour before he was due to go, waiting impatiently at the front door,but he didnt want to stay out too long ,eager to come back home after his two pints. billy was an independent man, very strong of character and fought right up till the end. everyone thought the world of billy and we all have our own special memories of him. we were honored to care for billy and will miss him greatly,as he is missed now, today .theres a little piece of our hearts with his initials engraved on them ,we wont forget billy as hes still a part of us good night god bless billy xx

in loving memory

The years we spent together may have been few, the time we had together were precious,and full of love. Its suprising how much we were like each other,in looks and personality.You were very quite and a very private person,you didnt want to be a bother to any one.You carried on till the road got to steep,and you couldnt manage any more,then you had to let us help you.As we got to know you better we finally saw the real you.Loved and remembered always daughter violet xxx Goodnight grandad Bill your sunshine kid granddaughter rachelxxx
