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!

A week already,

I can't believe he took you from us. The saying they take the best first must be true as you truly were the best grandad anyone could ask for. The worst thing is knowing we didn't get to say goodbye and althought i didnt tell you very often i love you more than words can say. I know your up there looking down thinking what are they all sitting crying for but we miss you always will.
Not a moment in my life will go by when i don't think about you and george will grow up to know all about the best great grand he ever had, as you are and always will be to us one in a million.
Love you so much Always and forever

Dad

I cant believe its almost a week since you were taken away from us, people say time is a great healer but we will never forget you, always and forever Michelle xxxxxxxxxxx

They say memories are golden,
well maybe that is true.
we never wanted memories,
we only wanted you.
A million times we needed you,
A million times we cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as we are called one by one,
the chain will link again. xxx

YOUR DAD

I AM SO SORRY FOR THE LOSS OF YOUR DAD I REALLY AM ESPECIALLY UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES THE HARDEST PART IS NOT GETTING TO SAY GOODBYE BUT BELIEVE ME YOUR DAD WOULD HAVE KNOWN WITH ALL HIS HEART THAT YOU LOVED HIM, YOU WILL FIND LATER ON WHEN YOU ARE THINKING OF HIM THAT A SIGN WILL LET YOU KNOW HE IS THERE TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS.
