This is a tribute page to George Denis Jones AKA DODI, Big Daddy, created by his family in his loving memory and for those that knew him across the world.

A loving Dad, Grandad, Great Grandad, Uncle and Brother, you leaving us was unexpected and has left a big void in the family. Many hearts were broken and we miss you so much, we still cry, we laugh and we talk about you often. You are still and always will be the head of the family.

30 August 1919 - 17 September 2005

Beautiful service in a church in Wales many attended old solider's, boxers and your family and friends from far and wide. The lads carried you in with pride to the sound of Rocky your boxing anthem. A very difficult day but we did you proud. Tough old solider to the end never ever complained and we did not realise how ill you where. You left us, we tried to bring you back but it was not meant to be, we laid you to rest in perfect peace in Harden on top of a beautiful Welsh Hill overlooking the countyside

You fought in World War 2 in the Welsh Dessert Rats, front line, gaining many awards for your bravery, including the George Cross. Later living in Italy as a milotory Police Corporal.

You returned to Wales working at Welsh Steel works for 20 plus years until being made redundant with half of Wales!

Well known across Wales as boxer DODI fighting many fights for the Welsh Boxing Club and for being a bit of a hard man

Remembered by all for riding your bike topless and your many tatoos especially the large naked lady on your right forearm!

You was a well known, loved and respected man in different places across the world and across Wales and Manchester. You loved and lived for your family all your life, especially the grandchildren that miss you terribly, you gave us everything you could ever offer all your life and devoted yourself and life to protecting all your family. We will never forget you ever and will always respect and treasure your memory for ever more.

Please feel free to leave a tribute if George was known to you or you just wish to pay your respects and share some love and peace, the family will appreciate it.

We love and miss you more than words can say Big Man R.I.P. xxx

We all hurt when we lose our loved one's that mean so much to us,
so.........

Thought of today to keep and remember....

Too often we don't realise what we have until it is gone;
Too often we wait too late to say 'I'm sorry - I was wrong.'
Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones we hold dearest to our hearts;
And we allow foolish things to tear our lives apart.

Far too many times we let unimportant things into our minds;
And then it's usually too late to see what made us blind.

So be sure that you let people know how much they mean to you;
Take that time to say the words before your time is through.

Be sure that you appreciate everything you've got
And be thankful for the little things in life that mean a lot.

For You Old Solider xxxxx

You've always had a special place,
deep within my heart.
Forever there it will remain,
whether we're near or far apart.

You've always been a favourite,
to everyone you know.
You've always made me happy,
when I was feeling low.

The kind advice you gave to me,
will never be replaced.
Nothing else can ever compare,
when I see a smile upon your face.

I want you to know I love you,
and you mean the world to me.
You're the star I'll always wish upon,
the light I'll always see.

Now, always & forever xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Our Shining Star xx

There is a star in Heaven
and on it is a place,
that's been reserved for you since birth
a place meant for your name.

This star has watched you through the years
but it could not stand alone,
it rested high on angel wings
awaiting your trip home.

You slipped away, I held you close,
your soul flowed through my heart,
I felt your last breath through my tears
I felt your pain depart.

Tonight I looked up to the sky
and there for me to view
was one lone star shining bright
your name was shining too.

You were my angel on this earth,
you're my angel in the sky.
Wait for me, someday you'll see
our names shine side by side.
