William Henry Smart (Bill) to most of his friends was born in the year the Titanic sunk 1912. On August 7th. He passed away on August 8th. 1992. The day after his 80th. birthday. That is 16 years ago today. And he is missed as much now as he was then. He had several brothers, and one sister, Mary. He had two sons, Harold and David. Sadly, David passed away, so he is now with his mum and dad. He was married to Ethel for quite a while but sadly she passed away and Dad not being the sort of man who liked living alone, met and married my mam, Edna on 10th. June 1972. They were married for 20 years before illness took my Dad home again. He was my step-dad but I couldn't have asked for a nicer man to be my "Dad". He looked after me and my son, after my son was born.
He worked at Irlam Steel Works for most of his working life.
He loved nothing better than a pint and a bet and a game of Bingo. He also enjoyed watching and playing green bowling. He also always found any bargains that were around, he loved nothing better than being able to say that he had got this or that for next to nothing. His favourite holiday places were Weymouth and Rhyll.
We don't talk about him as often as maybe we should, but he's never far away from our minds. We miss him so much.
God Bless Dad. Happy Birthday for yesterday (7th) and for your anniversary today (8th). Hope you are happy. xxxxxx

So many years ago,
you told me things
that would help me so,
I tried my best
to keep to them,
sadly I had to let go.
I go to another home
to make my life
and hopefully
life can return to as before.
Love you Dad xxxx
Sometimes what we want is not what we need.
***********************************************
“The Best”
God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you
and He whispered “Come to Me”
With tearful eyes we watched you.
We watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard-working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He chose to take the best.
It’s lonesome here without you
we miss you more each day.
Life doesn’t seem the same
since you have gone away.
When days are sad and lonely
and everything goes wrong,
we seem to hear you whisper
“Cheer Up and Carry On”
Each time we see your picture
you seem to smile and say,
“Don’t cry, I’m in God’s hands,
we’ll meet again someday!”

TRIBUTE FOR TUESDAY,SEPTEMBER15 2009
Gone Too Soon
G od took you gently by the hand,
O n wings of love to another land,
N estled in the clouds up high,
E ternal live he gave you in the sky,
T he ones left behind have broken hearts,
O h they did not want you to depart,
O ne day you will all meet again,
S aving a place and no more pain,
O n wings of love in Heaven above,
O ur hearts are filled with lots of love,
N ever more then a heartbeat away,
Gone too soon but remembered every single day.
