My lovely dad, jeggs was born 12th February 1937 to Annie Omar (nee Moglione) and Lens Bin (Lais) Omar. He met my mum Joan in in the Grafton in 1953 and they married on the 19th May 1956. Our Leah was born September 23rd later that year and then twelve months later september 57 our Gerald was born. June 1959 Jimmy was born and then Julie in 1960. The family never stopped there cos in 1963 our Vin was born and then along came me, (ruth) in 1965. Seven years later in 1973 me mum and dad became very proud granparents to our Nicci at the young age of 35 and 36. Me dad worked hard all his life on the building, he was a plasterers labourer, but he could put his hand to anything at all. He was the most respected gentleman ive ever known, everyone from work colleagues, family, friends and neighbours spoke so highly of him, which makes us children so proud.
My dad gave us a fantastic childhood, filled with love and many many happy, precious memories. Our childhoods are filled with memories of fantastic holidays, whether it was a caravan on the robin hood camp in wales, pontins or butlins, it didnt matter, as long as we were all together we had a ball wherever we went... me dad always made sure that we and our mum came first. As we got older and the family grew bigger, we had countless fabulous holidays abroad, me mum, dad, kids, in laws, grandkids, even friends.. and then of course our little trips to las vegas at the end of the year, no kids allowed, just the grown ups, me dad loved vegas so much, him and me mum would look forward to this all year round. And it was there that he could meet up with his sister Theresa and our yvette and nay who live in the states. Little did we know that when we left Vegas in November last year, it would be my dads last trip there. Just after New Year me lovely dad started to feel unwell, he had a "full" feeling all the time in his stomach. We all thought, as well as the doctor, that he had a little ulcer or a reflux. He had a camera down his stomach the beginning of february, then the day before his 71st birthday..11th feb, he got good news, the results came back from the camera all clear. On tuesday 19th february me dad went to the royal for a body scan, he still couldnt eat properly and he was in a lot of discomfort. The next day, wednesday 20th, our vin phoned the royal for his results cos he was still in pain, no-one could prepare us for the news that we got that day. the worst day of our lives. Me lovely dad had cancer in his stomach, which had spread to his liver and nothing could be offered to him in the way of treatment. Two - four months they gave him, absolutely unbelievable. The whole family was in shock and even to this day, still are. My lovely, handsome dad was dying and there was nothing we could do.
But, our Jeggs gathered us round him like he would normally do and gave each and every one of us the strength to hold it together whilst we did his last ubangee tour. First to Lourdes, arranged in an hour (ha) and then to Bala. Lourdes and Bala where his last wishes, typical Jeggs style, doesnt matter how we get there or when we get there, as long as we,re all together. As our vinny said, his strength and determination to do those things was second to none...what a man!! As ill as he was, especially in the final week, he still greeted everyone with that loving cheeky smile and still remained the perfect gentleman that he was. My lovely dad.
On April 3rd, at 7.40 am the angels came for my dad. He was surrounded by his six children and of course his beloved Joan, who he had devoted his whole life to. That day, all our hearts were broken and things will never ever be the same again. My beautiful dad, with a heart of pure gold, who loved us, protected us and showed us the true meaning of what family love. Love you forever and ever, your heartbroken family xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
x I love you Grandad x
The love I have for my Grandad
Will never fade away.
I’ll think of him, my special friend
Throughout each passing day.
I’ll walk into the room
And see his empty chair;
Although I know he’s resting,
I’ll feel his presence there.
The memories of his laughter,
His warm and loving smile,
His eyes so full of happiness,
His heart that of a child.
Memories are forever
Be they laughter or of tears,
Memories I will treasure
Through all the forthcoming years
Miss & Love you so much, Little Leah xxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh dad, theres not a minute that goes by that i dont think of you, from the moment i wake until i go to sleep. The time has flown by, i just wish i could feel your arms wrapped round me one more time, giving me them special hugs and saying, are you alright girl? I miss that so much dad, i wasnt ready for you to leave us, and im still not. I can still smell your lovely smell, i can see you opening the front door with your crossword under your arm and saying hello anna may, kissing me when im leaving yours and hearing you say bonsoir. I cry a million tears dad when i think of that last week when you had all your six little pigs sittin on your bed. We laughed til our sides split at the marx brothers and your tutty fruity jokes and cried til we couldnt cry any more at the thought of what was to come. The time has come dad for me to do what you always wanted me to do, i hope i make you as proud as what you always made me. I know you,ll be with me..... I love you dad, millionsxxxxxxxxxx your baby girl ruth xxxxxx

x Lovely Jeggs x
A million times we've needed you
A million times we've cried
If love alone could've saved you
You would have never died
In life we loved you dearly
In death we love you still
In our hearts you hold a place
No one else could ever fill
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone
Part of us went with you
The day God took you home.
Miss you so much Grandad, Love Little Leah & your ever loving Family xxxxxxxxxxxxx
a true gentleman through and through
You were a shining example of a husband and father. A beautiful soul. I respected you so much, and often think about you and all of your devastated family. I am so glad to have known you. Fondest love to you.

Our Jeggs xxxxxx
I know we are all feeling a little bit sad,
That we've lost our Grandad, our friend and our dad
Together we have cried an ocean of tears
As we feel so empty and hold many fears
But our Jeggs would want us to know he's in a good place
And that he's watching us all with a smile on his face
As we have made him so proud, as proud as can be
That he has raised such a beautiful and special family
Thinking back now I really must say
I feel lucky and privileged to have known my Grandad to this day
For in my life, you have played a special part
The memories I will treasure and keep close to my heart
Although my Grandad has gone we will always be together
And his spirit will live on in each one of us forever
When you look to the sky, look for the brightest star
As that will be our Jeggs looking down on us from afar
And now I would like to thank the good Lord above
For blessing us with our Jeggs with his kindness and love
Dear God, if it is not too much fuss
Take extra special care of my Grandad as he is very dear to us.
Grandad if you are listening say a prayer for us every day
Be sure to protect us and guide us on our way
We know when God called you, you had to go
But we want you to know our lovey Jeggs we miss you and love you so
Love & Miss You Forever my beautiful Grandad Jeggs from Little Leah & your ever loving family xxxxxxxxxx
Roses for my Grandad Jeggs
If Roses grow in Heaven
Lord please pick a bunch for me,
Place them in my Grandad Jeggs's arms,
and tell him there from me.
Tell him I love him and miss him,
and when he turns to smile,
place a kiss upon his cheek,
and hold him for a while
Because remembering him is easy,
I do it every day,but there's an ache within my heart,
that will never go away.
Love you forever my beautiful Grandad Jeggs
Millions of hugs & kisses to you,
Love Little Leah xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
