The obituary notice of Terence (Terry) COCKROFT

I can’t believe it’s been one year without you, Tez. The pain I still feel and the tears that fall, especially when I have to write a tribute to you, really doesn’t get any easier, because in reality I know I can't hold you close again or get to tell you how much I loved you, but the only bit of comfort I have is I know I'll be able to hold onto our love and memories instead because the love we all shared as a family will always be around.
And I would just like to say to you,because i know you’re listening, if i could write a trillion words it wouldn’t be enough to tell you how I feel. I loved you for mostly all of your life, or at least from when you came into my life, and I know for certain that I’ll still love and miss you for the rest of mine.
I’ve added a small amount of pictures and a few videos, to share with people of just how much joy you brought into all of our lives.
My Love for you will always be everlasting and eternal. Your daughter Jo xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Tez/my Dad
One whole year without you, my heart still hurts and aches to talk to you one last time but I know it was your time to go. You were the best dad a girl could ask for and I cherish the time we had with you. I often talk to you and think of you every day. Don't worry about Mam she is ok we are looking after her.

I love you Tez xx Shelly

It’s been one long year without you I miss you so much I wish I could hold you one last time and tell you how much I miss you your devoted wife Irene

Such a lovely man, will be so sadly missed. Sending love to you all. Xxxx

It’s never easy to say goodbye and this is the hardest thing I’ve written.
There are no words to express how I’m feeling apart from truly heartbroken.
On Tuesday evening the 16th January I had to say goodbye to my Dad/Tez.
Because I know I won’t have the strength to stand up at your funeral and say these words, I thought I would share it on here just to say how much you where loved.

Dear Dad/Tez

I always knew when I first met you I was the most blessed and luckiest little girl in the world, having two dads how special was i.
I’ll always remember you’re big kind beautiful heart.
And one of a million special memories I have of you is when you had just finished your night shift, it was Easter and because I wouldn’t get to see you until after school you always youse to put two cadburys cream eggs under my pillow. Something so small but memorable still now.
You were such a special dad to me and that’s why my heart is so empty right now. I know I can’t bring you back but it’s something I’ll wish for everyday and I’ll go on missing you until we meet again,.
So thank you for giving me the gift of you
Your love kindness support and encouragement the list goes on will last my lifetime.
You will be my rainbow on my darkest days and although I have a great big gaping whole in my heart I know overtime that will be filled with my memories we shared, so when tomorrow starts with you not being there I know you’re missing me too.

Love you long time.
You’re loving daughter Joanne xx

My Dad, my Hero, thank you for being my dad. You looked after us all, now we will look after mam for you. My heart is broken but a heart broken simply means a heart that loved and was loved. I was blessed to call you my dad. I Love you with all my heart your daughter Michelle.

Sleep peacefully Terry.
Thinking of you all xx
