This is about our dad.....Rod Howes....who passed away suddenly on 26th August 2005 aged 62 years
old
He lived in Whitstable, Kent. He is married to Penny and has two daughters, Gillian and Allison, two
son-in-laws, Peter and Dave.
Rod has 8 grandchildren, Joshua, Jessica, Rebekah, Kimberley, David, Laila, Kirsty and Ewan.
Dad spent 30 years in the London Fire Brigade and retired in 1995 as an ADO his last station was
Clerkenwell. He loved every minute of it.
Dad spent a lot of his time in the Freemasons working for Charity and made a great deal of money for
various charity's including the local Sea Cadets and the RNLI.
Dad died very suddenly of a heart attack which was a great shock to family and friends and collegues
alike especially his 4 eldest Grandchildren whom he was looking after at the time of his passing,
unfortunately Dad never got to see Gillian and Peter's children Kirsty and Ewan or my youngest 2
children David and Laila - he would love them so much. Dad I wish so much you were here to see
them all.
All of us greatly miss him and finding moving on very hard but he will always be with us and never
forgotton.
We love and miss you very much Dad xxxxxxxxxx

my granddad; this is for you
You've always had a special place,
deep within my heart.
Forever there it will remain,
whether we're near or far apart.
You've always been a favourite,
to everyone you know.
You've always made me happy,
when I was feeling low.
The kind advice you gave to me,
will never be replaced.
Nothing else can ever compare,
when I see a smile upon your face.
I want you to know I love you,
and you mean the world to me.
You're the star I'll always wish upon,
the light I'll always see.
granndad, miss you MORE every day...
This man taught me lots of things
When I was only small
How to wield a cricket bat
And how to catch a ball
He was the one who nurtured me
Inspired me to thrive
He taught me how to ride a bike
Much later how to drive
He’d sit with me and read
Explaining many things
And so I came to understand
The joy that books can bring
He walked with me down leafy lanes
We would talk for hours on end
At one time I would even say
That he was my best friend
He told me many a story
A moral there within
I learned so very much
So very much from him
I remember as I grew
He was my inspiration
My Granddad who had helped me
Develop my imagination
And so I thank you Granddad
As I say goodbye to you
I’ll remember you with love
Till we meet again we two
To My Dad
