My dad John William Wright
Died November 2003 on the anniversary of Freddie Mercurys death who happened to be my dads hero.
My dad was 57 when he died of inoperable Kidney Cancer, he worked as a plumber most of his life and the day he had to lay down his tools due to his cruel illness was the day he lost his soul, my dad was from the old school of thought where a man worked hard for the things he wanted, he hated relying on others and especially taking hand outs that didnt amount to much.
He lived in Chiswick most of his life but in his final few years he resided in Barnes South West London, it was a very humble abode and was never a castle but I think he spent some good times there, I know he loved to blast out his music which was a great passion of his and I miss him getting up and playing "air guitar" to this day....
I am his daughter and I know he had another daughter but we never met her as she was adopted at birth, dad never ever forgot her and her picture was always in his wallet.
The cancer was not the thing that killed my dad, he died the day they told him in the hospital that the cancer had spread to his brain.....your personality changed Dad and you never ever found your way back from that devestating news. Your life had been filled with such sadness, what with your divorce and the death of your true love among other things...how does the old saying go, "some are born to sweet delight, others to an endless night"....so true!
I thought I had so much time to spend with you dad, so much time to make up for my teens when I was less than perfect, it just wasn't to be I suppose, I dont know why the wrong parent died, the one who was sorry and wanted a life with me, why does god take the good? I dont know...maybe oneday we will all find out.
Say hi to my lovely grandads and nans....especially nan Green my mamma, she was one of a kind.
Miss you dad, I wish you were here to see Ryan now and how he has grown and become a little fire cracker.....
Till we party in heaven Dad, know i love you and always did.

Hi. What a nice tribute to your dad. My dad died in 1982 of cancer. Me and my twin brother were only 16 at the time. Time will heal your heartache. It has mine. I now think back and remember what a wonderful dad he was. He loved gardening and I know he is keeping that beautiful garden up above in tip top condition. I also lost my fiancee (Trevor Phillippo) 20 years ago to a brain hemmeriage. He died 3 months before our wedding. I thought my world had ended. The why's and what if's crossed my mind but I could find no answer. I somehow got through it and am now married with a six year old beautiful daughter. Keep strong and your loved ones will always be with you. Love Julie xxxx
AT PEACE

REMEMBER ALL THE GOOD TIMES AND REMEMBER HIM WITH A SMILE, I LOST MY FATHER, HE WAS A PLUMBER TO LIVER CANCER 25 YEARS AGO, IT JUST SEEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY, HE WAS ONLY 61, IN APRIL THIS YEAR I LOST MY BROTHER (ORIGIONALLY A PLUMBER) TO LUNG AND PANCREAS CANCER, HE WAS ONLY 46. WHEN I THINK OF MY BROTHER I CRY, WHEN I THINK OF MY DAD I SMILE, SO OBVIOUSLY WHAT THEY SAY IS TRUE, TIME IS A GREAT HEALER. I HOPE THE THOUGHTS OF A STRANGER HELP TO EASE YOUR PAIN,yOUR DAD WILL BE SMILING DOWN AT YOU AND BURSTING WITH PRIDE AT HIS WONDERFULL DAUGHTER.RMEMEBER HIM WITH HAPPINESS AND BE PLEASED HE IS FREE FROM PAIN AND THAT DREADFULL ILLNESS AT LAST.
