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.
Christmas without Dad xxx
The Christmas lights twinkle
and reflect in my tears,
as I suddenly realize
it's been just over three years.
My daddy left us
and his earthly home.
He's off in the heavens
to eternally roam.
As luck would have it,
he left his best in me;
from his sarcastic wit
to his "evil eye" gene.
The family didn't know as
much of my dad.
Still they cherish what
time that they had.
But long before leaving
his home here on earth,
we all gained from his values
of pride and self-worth.
So my happy memories
Must dull the pain,
and soothe my soul
'til I'm with daddy again.
Love amnd miss you Dad xx
miss u xx
Snow will fall at Christmas time,
The smell of pine trees in the air,
But the face of our dear_ones
we long to see you again.
When the poinsettias open
And their beauty naturally
waves,
We will gather up some
bunches
And lay them gentle on your
grave.
Oh, so often do we wander
To the place where you are laid,
And think if God had only left
you
Longer on earth with us to stay.
love you forever xxx
Miss you xx

Christmas without you xxx
Christmas without you here with me,
can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
one so precious, who has your name.
An Angel forever watching over me,
at Christmas time and over the year.
Although you can’t be here anymore,
inside my heart, you are so very near.
There is no special present for you,
wrapped under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you,
all the love you can still feel from me.
No, Christmas time without you here,
could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
and the memories and love, will remain.
A Christmas Present xxx
A Christmas Present
It's Christmas and I'll miss you
You'll never know how much
The greatest thing I could get
Would be just to feel your touch.
I know you're safe in God's arms
And you're as happy as can be
And I know that I'm being selfish
To want you here with me.
Have a lovely Christmas
I'll get by, you'll see
Just Promise me on Christmas day
That you will think of me
love and miss you always xxx
Missing you
Have you ever had the feeling
That you need someone to care?
Someone to put his arms around you
Knowing theyre always there.
Have you ever reached out
Only to find no one there?
Feelings that leaves one in dark despair
A lonely feeling, to much for you to bear.
Have you ever felt the need
To just just give up on life?
Your world so full of darkness
Not able to see the light
In my final hour of darkness
That's when you stepped in
You're that ray of light I needed
My true and trusted friend.
Helping me to realize
You were always there for me
Barely able to cope, in a cloud of fog
So thick I couldn't see.
You are my ray of sunshine
My star on the darkest night
You've helped me to believe again
That soon will come the light.
So thankful for your friendship
Though others may not see
Just how very special
Your friendship is to me.
Though we may be miles apart
Even with the distance
It's what's in our hearts
If ever you're in need, I'm always here
Helping you make it through
Lifes heartaches and fears
Our Big Angel xxx
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.
Candles of love
The first candle represents our grief.
The pain of losing you is intense.
It reminds us of the depth of our love for you.
This second candle represents our courage.
To confront our sorrow,
To comfort each other,
To change our lives.
This third candle we light in your memory.
For the times we laughed,
The times we cried,
The times we were angry with each other,
The silly things you did,
The caring and joy you gave us.
This fourth candle we light for our love.
We light this candle that your light will always shine.
As we enter this holiday season and share this night of remembrance
with our family and friends.
We cherish the special place in our hearts
that will always be reserved for you.
We thank you for the gift
your living brought to each of us.
We love you.
We remember you.
