General Chat

I am so very sad to hear of our Tec’s passing, most of us new that it was just round the corner but that dose not make it any easier in excepting the news. Tec will be greatly missed by us all he was a lovely kind gentleman and a wonderful caring friend . Rest In Peace my dear friend,free from pain now Tec and reunited with your Good Lady .

Like all of us Tec joined GR for help in researching his family history and then venturing onto the chat boards where we have all found a wonderful friendship through chat ,if it was not for the chat boards we would never of known about the lovely people we have had a natter with and in some cases peeps have made arrangements to meet.

Tec was a regular on SueMaids thread and was thrilled to bits when he met Sue, Linda and there husbands in Wales. When I started the Welsh thread Tec wished me luck and he also joined in with the rest of the gang with all the fun and banter and not forgetting the Welsh Lessons which caused many laughs then the antics of the rain dance which was very entertaining and what fun. We have shared many emails and phone chats and also photos but sadly never met in person.

Tec’s memories will live on within the GR community for his lovely and wicked sense of humor and not forgetting is stories of traveling round the world while working on the cruise linners some of which had us in stiches and not forgetting the stories of Yanto his lovely four legged friend and the other dogs he had which there names I have forgotten .

Tec lead his life to the full once he retired from the cruise liners, he was addicted to antique sales where he would buy anything that took his fancy, he told me on a few occasions that he had to sneak the odd item that he purchased into the house before his good lady saw it and then display it where he thought best and then wait for any remarks which was not long coming “ did you really need that “ was the usual remark from his good Lady ,the way Tec told me these stories you could not help but to burst out into a laughter .

Tec was always on the go either decorating or busy in his garden which he was very proud of he loved the wildlife around him including feeding is garden birds, he kept winding me up about all the Goldfinches he had knowing that was the one bird I never saw in my garden. he was always so positive and got on with life the best way he could although he was in great discomfort he supported others including myself, he was a fighter to the end after several major operations he would bounce back but sadly this last health problem was to much for him.

You are going to be missed my dear friend and never forgotten.
<3 Rest In Peace Tec, Thinking of your family and friends <3

Remembering our Tec <3

Although unheard we thank you Tec
For always being there
Even when you were not well
You always cared for other's.

You meant so much to all of us
you were special and that's no lie
you brightened up the darkest day
and even the greyest sky.

Many tears we have seen and cried
They have all poured out like rain
Now we know that you are no longer in pain.

We will Al-ways remember you
And what you used to say
You made each of us smile
And live to the fullest each day

We were not ready to say goodbye You will always be in our hearts And we wish you perfect peace
Rest in peace OUR FRIEND Our friendship is forever
You will always be in our hearts.<3

So Sad to hear that Tec has passed over now with his beloved Wife.

Deepest Condolences to his Daughter and all his family.

RIP Tec.

Tec's funeral will be this Friday.
sadly I will be in London looking after my granddaughter as it is school holidays, so I wont be able to go, which is very upsetting for me

They are having family flowers only and any donations will be shared between Air ambulance Wales and Tywyn Hospital.

The Duchess once took a flight in the air ambulance when she was in a hypo. Afterwards she was very annoyed because she didn't remember anything about it and she had always wanted to go in a helicopter.
Tywyn hospital was where Tec spent many months recuperating after his operations, they were really good to him, he even had a full scale office set up in the corner of his room, surreptitiously connected into the hospital internet system.They also looked after him for his final days

I will make a donation on behalf of his GR friends, if anyone would like to contribute to it, please pm me.

Please remember Tec on Friday .Thank you Linda for your kindness .Thinking of Tec on his last Journey <3 <3

Remember <3

You can shed tears that Tec has gone
or you can smile because he has lived.

You can close your eyes and pray that he come back
or you can open your eyes and see all he has left.

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him
or you can be full of the friendship you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember Tec and only that he has gone
or you can cherish Tecs memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
or you can do what Tec would want:

<3 smile, open your eyes, love and go on.<3

R I P. OUR FRIEND

That's beautiful Shaunie <3

I will be thinking of Tec tomorrow and rembering our lovely friend.

I will be thinking of his daughter and her family at this sad time-
May knowing that you are in the hearts and thoughts of others help you all through this time of sorrow.

We will always remember our lovely friend Tec with deep affection and will.miss him very much.


RIP TEC <3 <3 <3

Saying a last goodbye to our loved ones is such a difficult thing to do but finding comfort in the fact they are reunited with special people gone ahead does help. There are some lovely words on here that show how much Tec was appreciated and I hope his family will get to read the tributes.

Rest in peace, Tec

Thinking of Tec's family today.

RIP Tec <3

My thoughts are with Tec and his family today <3

Sleep peacefully dear friend - I will always cherish your memory <3 <3

A Tribute to our loving caring and wonderful friend, Tec.

One thing we will always cherish no matter what life sends.

A memory of the happiness of just being friends.

A page in the book of memory silently turns today.

We remember you in silence Tec your love and caring nature towards others.

Tenderly we treasure the passed with memories that will last.
Silent memories true and tender just to show we still remember.

Memories are like threads of gold they never tarnish or grow old.

It’s just a little but means a lot to say dear friend we will not forget.

Treasured thoughts of one so dear often brings a silent tear,
Thoughts of scenes long past years roll on but memories last.

In our hearts a memory is kept for a friend we respect and will never forget.

No space of time, no lapse of years, can dim the treasured past,
A loving memory keeps it dear, affection holds it fast.

Within our store of memories, Tec holds a place apart,
For no one else can ever be more cherished in our hearts.

We miss you in so many ways; we miss the things you used to say,
And when old times we do recall It’s when we miss you most of all.

Your presence we miss, your memory we treasure,
Loving you always, forgetting you never.

<3 Rest in peace Our Friend <3

Beautiful words Shaun on such a sad day as it is today.

<3 <3 Tec & all his Family & Friends ,
