My Dad "Simply the best" was taken from us by an evil 28 year old scum bag! who has been charged
with causing the death of my Dad by driving dangerously after drinking with no insurance or license
after all that he then walks away from the scene of the accident without even trying to help my poor
Dad. I hope this poor excuse for a man rots in hell i really do, and also the four passengers who
were with him in his car as they are all just as bad as he is.
At 77 years old my Dad was fitter than most, he walked miles and still worked at weekends as he said
he was too young to retire. I expected him to live forever and now he has gone and we didnt even get
chance to tell him we love him or say goodbye.
On the 11th May 2009 Ammar Shabir pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving. He has many
convictions for driving including driving with no license and insurance while under the influence of
drink and drugs and also whilst on a ban. He was sentenced to 8 years in prison but will only serve
half of that time and then will spend the other 4 years on license. There is NO justice in the
world!

Court

Mum Chris and i went to court on Tuesday, what a poor excuse for a man he is! he couldnt even look at us Dad! anyway he pleaded guilty to causing your death by dangerous driving and admitted going through a red light! he is back in court the 11th may for sentencing. The worst thing is he had done something else on the 30th of dec only 5 days before and was on bail for that!
We all love you Dad and miss you so much.
Roger has built two gates for the garden to stop the dog going on the plants. The garden is looking lovely loads of flowers coming up.
Hope you and Alan are together up there Dad and looking after each other.
Talk to you soon always thinking of you xxxxx

Special day

We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.

Each morning when we awake
We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on.

Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.

Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still.

There will always be a heartache,
And often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.

If tears would make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.

We hold you close within our hearts;
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.

Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
