Dedicated to the memory of Brian Hill


Brian was a much loved husband, son, father and grandfather and we can't believe he is no longer with us.  He put everyone before himself and spent much of his time looking after and doing things for his friends and family.  We adored him - even when he was shouting at us for being late, when we didn't share his very strongly held opinions or rolling our eyes as he poured another glass of wine.   Work hard and play hard was dad's motto and he really did live life to the full.  I don't think there is a country he didn't visit, a party he was invited to he didn't attend or a chance to see his friends or family he didn't take up.  

His heart was as big as the universe, his temper as quick as Usain Bolt and his sense of humour as dry as parched earth and we wouldn't have had him any other way.  He would be humbled and possibly a bit embarrassed by the hundreds of kind words that have been spoken about him since his death.  Words that have given his family great comfort in the months since his diagnosis with brain cancer.  Our wish is that you remember dad not as the very poorly man he was in his last months but as the joyous, twinkle in his eyed man he was.

Hi dad, There aren’t enough words to describe everything I’d like to say, and in such short time. So I’ve written a poem. I guess in life we never know what may occur, But just one wish to have you here, that I would prefer. Our thousands of memories will always be there, But why can’t there be more, I’ll never understand it’s just not fair. The words you told me were “please stay strong” but you didn’t deserve this it’s all so wrong. There will always be heartache, but I need to remember you for the man you are Stood with a glass of wine and always at the bar. Living your moments by making people laugh, Or complaining about restaurant food and shouting at the staff. Driving round in your posh jaguar car, And let’s not forget singing with your beloved guitar. I grew up as a child believing you were on the TV show ‘popstar’ To find out you were only in the crowd...but dad you’re still my superstar. I’ll never forget how you’ve been the best grandad to my son, Always cutting the grass together and getting jobs done. He talks about you every day and always will, Your grandson, your boy, your little Tyler Hill. You gave me life, you gave me love. I’ll always see your face and look to you up above. Thankyou for everything, but most of all for being you. For being the best dad ever, no matter what through and through. This is not goodbye, this is see you again. Always my hero, forever my dad I love you Carly xxxxxx

I will miss him so much. So loved and so generous. Loved his sense of humour! So many memories of growing up together, Christmas Days, football matches watching Manchester United, Blackpool Illuminations....... So sad that I was unable to see him this year. Love you Brian xx
