My dad was born in Bradford on 3rd April 1965 to Maureen & John Sunter, Maureen remarried when my dad was young and he was then brought up by his mum & Roger Jackon. He was one of 6; Jill, Roger, Lindsey, Philip & Darren.

In his late teens he met my mum, and when he was 23 I was born (Kristina Louise). He was a wagon driver by trade, but also a mechanic and welder. Multi talented my dad was!

He was always up to mischeif when he was little (or so he used to tell me), but my Dad had a heart of gold, he would do anything for anyone. He was just shaded by a mis spent youth, and not the best start in life.

I love my dad and everyone loved him, he was like a freind to me and a Dad all rolled into one. I used to speand every other weekend with him as he lived by the Sea. He had a great sense of humour, and loads of friends, but I guess he just felt so lonely and he suffered depression. He never admitted it to me, but I could see.

Sadly on 22nd February 2004 my took his own life, which broke my heart. I wish my dad was still here, but I understand that he must of been desperate to to do what he did and I just tell myself he left everyone behind becasue he knew we'd be ok!

I just want you to know Dad no matter what, I wouldn't have swapped you for the world.

All my love Kristina Louise xxx

Hiya Dad

Hiya Dad,

Been thinking about you today, my grandad got a big welding job in and all I could think is you'd have done as ace job! Was speaking to Ste P (Dr Proctor lol) he was looking at my pictures and saying how much I'd grown up! Haven't seen him since we scattered your ashes, so 5 years ago nw! Told him I look more like you now I'm getting older!

Still can't beleive its 5 years dad, I miss you soo much, could have done with you the last year, to help me when Dan died and all the horrible things that extended from it.Anyway I was thinking about it the other day and you'd be 43 now you old git lol! As you know I had a party for my 21st, had a great time, still thought about you tho, can't understand sometimes why you'd wanna leave without coming to my 16th, 18th 21st my wedding, teach me to drive, all the dad stuff you were suppose to do, guess I'll never really know the truth, cos your the only one with the answers. No point asking my nan or grandad about your life because they just tell me what they want too. I don't bother with them anymore, that way I avoid dissapointment! I got a card from you on my birthday tho sent via someone you loved very much, made me cry, but I was glad you hadn't gone un-noticed on my birthday.

I miss you dad, I just wish I could talk to you sometimes, you always made me feel so love and like no one could hurt me, but since you left I feel like there's no one to protect me anymore. I used to feel safe with Dan around and now he's gone too... Seems all the people I really love die and now I'm scared to love anyone again, because what if they die??

I know you can't read this but some how writing to you on here just makes things easier.

I love you Dad always and forever Kristina xxx

Not how did he die, but how did he live?
Not what did he gain, but what did he give?
These are the units to measure the worth
Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.
Not, what was his church, nor what was his creed?
But had he befriended those really in need?
Was he ever ready, with word of good cheer,
To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?
Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say,
But how many were sorry when he passed away.
