Robert walter keeling (Bob) was born 16th march 1961 & died suddenly on 18th june 2002 in his sleep,he was 41 years old.
He was the youngest of 9 & he had 4 children who he was all very close to, Sherri, Leanne, Hatti & Harry! He had nicknames for us all, Sherri was named skin, (as i use to be so skinny) or just shel, Leanne was named sweet pee wee, as she used to love frozen peas, Hatti was chinny chin chin & Harry was either dude or Harry hot dog, & also a little boy called John Robert who sadly passed away at birth! He was married to our mummy for 20 odd years & although their marriage was not perfect, He loved my mummy so very much but sometimes found it hard to show it!
He had a massive passion for music especially Paul weller & had a wonderful voice! he taught himself many things, i.e how to play a 12 string guitar etc. He loved his fishing, cooking, animals & also carpentry! He once had a pet rat called yorkie & Harry had his brother called thom,they both called the rats after thom yorke from the band radiohead & they loved their rats so much,Dad used to take yorkie out in the car while yorkie sat on the shoulder of his chair!
Our dad was amazing at so many things,if you had needed something fixing & you thought it was impossible to fix, my dad could fix it everytime!
He touched so many lives & was such a great father, son, uncle, & friend & so fun to be around!
He was always cheerful & so inspiring. He may have had his faults but doesnt everyone? Although we only had a short time with him,i learnt such a lot from him, like never care what anyone thinks of you, no one is any better than anyone else, we're all the same but with different qualities!
Listening to his favourite music, i thought at first it would hurt & it did hurt so much to start with but as time goes by it doesnt heal us it helps us remember the happy times & the special memories with him!
I'll never forget you daddy & forever in our hearts you will always remain! Till we meet again,chin up keep smiling daddy dude! Keep looking over us all that loves you! I'll love you forever! Peace & love always! XXXXXX
I would like to thank everyone that pays their condolences & tributes to our daddy, From those who knew him or even the ones that didnt, It keeps his memory alive for all of us that knew him & loved him so thank you so much xxxxxx
& for all the people that hurt our dad & our mum in one way or another, just remember KARMA, it comes back to get you!
BOB
When tomorrow starts without me and I am not here to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me
I know how much you love me as much as I love you
And each time you think of me I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me please try to understand
That Jesus came and called my name and took me by the hand.
He said my place is ready in heaven far above
And that I have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away a tear fell from my eye
For all my life I'd always thought it wasn't my time to die.
I had so much to live for and so much yet to do
It seems almost impossible that I was leaving you.â,¬
I thought of all the yesterdays the good ones and the bad
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
If I could have stayed for just a little while
I'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realise that this could never be
For emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things that I'd miss come tomorrow
I thought of you and when I did my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through Heaven's gate and felt so much at home
As God looked down and smiled at me from his great golden throne.
He said This is eternity And all I've promised you
Today your life on earth is past but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow but today will always last
And since each day's the same here there's no longing for the past.
So when tomorrow starts without me don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me I'm right here in your heart.
Thought of you today, but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday,and days before that too.
I think of you in silence, I often speak your name.
All I have are memories and a picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake, with which I'll never part.
God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart.
Miss you daddy love you so much!!
Happy birthday for next week xxxxxx

Daryl /Sherri
Bob, I never knew you but I wish i had, i never spoke with you but I wish I had, I never saw you but I wish I did....I have spent the best 3 years of my life with your daughter Sherri and I now feel I know you..
I looked after your guitar I tried to learn what you could play.. but it dont come over night.
Me and Sherri have split up, she left me.. i realise what i could have done better, I realise what I could have said different, I realise what I could have done to make things better.
I truley loved her, I never knew love until I met her, I never realise what I had until it was too late,
I never felt that love could be so strong...Sherri is my life, we had our ups and downs
but dont all couples...I cannot breathe without her, it feels as
though I have nothing left, I know she nmisses you, I know that she would give anything
to be with you again, I just pray that my angel your daughter can realise
that I am willing to change, to make her smile like the day we met.
How can two people so in love come to this...
Bob look after my princess and guide her back in to my arms..
Give me the chance to show her that I would do anything for one more kiss...
Take care
Daryl
6 YEARS ALREADY!
I remember the day you had gone!! It was the worst day of my life! Never got to tell you how sorry I was!!!
I miss you more and more each day! And I need you more than ever today!
You are always in my mind!
I hate the fact that I cant ask for your advice, I cant cry on your shoulder!!
I cry so much, I feel so hurt and I am so angry!!
You are my hero! My shining start! My daddy! I love you!!!
6 year you have left me for and I hurts even more than the day you left!!!
I AM SO SORRY!!! R.I.P
XXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I can't beleive it has been 6 years since you have been gone.
It only seems like yesterday when I used to come round and play with Sherri and Pee.
You would be so proud of all your Children they have really done you proud.
Rest in Peace Bob, until we meet again.

GRACE BY JEFF BUCKLEY! JUST FOR YOU DADDY as it was ur favorite song!!
here's the moon asking to stay
long enough for the clouds to fly me away
well it's my time coming, i'm not afraid to die
my fading voice sings of love,
but she cries to the clicking of time
oh, time
wait in the fire...
and she weeps on my arm
walking to the bright lights in sorrow
oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow
oh my love
and the rain is falling and i believe
my time has come
it reminds me of the pain
i might leave
leave behind
wait in the fire...
and i feel them drown my name
so easy to know and forget with this kiss
i'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow
Forgive me daddy,im sorry!
