BILL COTTERELL MY DAD 

I have only known my dad for 30 years but it was the best 30 years of my life. I tried to describe my dad but the only words I came up with were the seven dwarfs. Ya, funny little men which dress in funny clothes, well dad did like to dress up. Happy - he was always happy Sleepy - he was always asleep in the chair Sneeze - when he sneezed you would know about it. I can't really say he was bashful or dopey more fun loving and a practical joker. Doc - the only prescription Dad would give out would be ROCK N ROLL - it cures everything. I have so many memories of my dad being dad and a Granddad that will stay in my heart forever. So when I look at the stars at night I will always see my Dad - the biggest ROCK N ROLL star of them all. So as the song goes.... GOD BLESS ROCK N ROLL BUT MOST OF ALL, GOD BLESS YOU DAD XXX So on the behalf of my mum, me, Carole, Richard, Tracey and Lorraine we would like to say a big thank you to you all for the kind cards, message, flowers and donation after the very said loss of our dad/ husband and a very good friend. Bill Cotterell. So as dad would say now its time for the raffle. Thank you
