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 his bike topless and his 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, gave gave us
everything you could ever offer all your life. 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.

Always in our hearts
Heh Gramps, three years today still remember the events like it was yesterday. I had to chair a big meeting today at work and at 2.50pm I could not stop clock watching and thinking of you at the hospital when you left us and me rubbing your heart trying to bring you back shouting at you to come back me, my eyes where welling up I had to go to the loo and sort myself out, but you was needed somewhere else far away from us.
I have been up and down this week as you know we always are this time especially me and mum, thinking about you so much. I know you know because Georgie smelt you on Friday and shouted me and Del, you were in the hall following Georgie upstairs.
I cried but smiled because I know you have followed us and even though you have had a couple of months since we have been here to give us a sign you came because I have been like I have especially with it being Ramones rememberence as well 4 days apart.
I know you walk beside us each and every day and have helped us through the last 12 terrible months and made us strong and come through as a family, you helped Dellisha through her A levels and pass because you know she has been suffering and will continue to thats why you are letting us know your around and I thank you for that for ever more. I just wish you was here with us still in person because your missed so much by everyone.
Hope you liked the fact your old deck chair is in the new garden, weather permitting we will start the peace garden in the next month or after xmas you will love it. We are having your first old bike from way back in day restored to go under the apple and plum trees in your loving memory.
Even though we have everything in life materially we could ever need now Gramps I would swap it all to have you back again, life is more precious than anything else. I know I can't but you are here in spirit always as our guardian angel and that gives us comfort.
I thank you for the lovely memories being my Dad as well as Grandad,you things you taught me, love you shared with all the kids and the whole family and for being the wonderful person you were on the earth plane and now as an angel
love and missing you always and forever until we meet again

Those we love must someday pass,
Beyond our present sight,
Must leave us and the world we know,
Without their radiant light,
And in the realms of heaven,
Where they shine so warm and bright,
Our angels live forever,
In Gods eternal light. xxx

Sending Love
to you Gramps from us all on what would have been your 89th Birthday!
We stayed with you for a while today at your resting place on your hill it was so peaceful and the sun was shining. We planted some wildflower seeds at the foot of your headstone so you will have a mass of colour in a few months...or maybe next year.
love and miss you always Big Man, your loving family xxxxx
