The obituary notice of THOMAS BAILEY PATRICK

Another Christmas Day without our lovely dad
Lonely and lost without you always leaves us sad,
The tears we’ve cried for ever and a day
Never ever stopped the day you went away,
We miss your happy smile , your laughter and your fun,
The brightest smile , the giggles to each and every one,
Every year gets harder, the grief it never ends,
Broken hearts and crying the sadness never mends.
We miss the carefree days, the never ending smiles.
How we wish , you were still with us, if only for a while.
And now your there with mum,
United in your love,
Dancing with the angels and watching from above.
Happy Christmas dear dad and don’t forget us here
For everyday you are in heaven
For us is another year

12 years since you closed your eyes, me, mum and Liz said our goodbyes, missing you greatly with each passing year, always heartbroken and always with tears. Will never forget you and though me and Liz feel sad we will always be grateful we had such a great dad.

What a great guy

The title say's it all. I only got to know Tom through work when i joined the 'A' Team, many years ago now but we have never forgotten one another even though we went different ways. Tom you were one of the lads, always cheerful not a care in the world with your fag in your hand and of course the cuppa, yeh he did work, he watched us work...... joking Tom! Well mate, your going to be missed by alot of people, the 'A' team get togethers are not going to be the same but we can remember the fun we had and you mate can now rest. You Take it easy mate.

I place this message on behalf of all the Coventry City Council 'A' Team past and current and our thoughts go out to the family of Tom at this sad time.
