My dads illness was c.o.p.d a lung disorder.My father was brought up in Ardoyne in a family of 6 and was a very keen footballer he played at irish league level. As the troubles took their tole on people my farther Like all the men he knew wanted what was best for his children. We were brought up in the New Lodge, in alexander house no.7 . what good times we had there.My dad was a very thoughtful man who done alot for his communit after a number of years my father opened a taxi firm on the oldpark road (Parktaxis) it opened in 1981,twenty years later my father took ill .He battled c.o.p.d for 8 long years until he could rally no more. I got a phone call at 4.oclock on easter monday 2007, it was my niece saying uncle john please help me my granda is not breathing, (I new it was bad). When i got down to my fathers home he was lying dead in the hall. That vision will never leave my mind. Three days later my father was buried with full honours it was to be the hardest day of my life,it wasnt,it was the proudest day of my life. He is so missed by everyone its unreal but he always said when he dies he will not be getting anything that other good people havent got.
