Terry Blackman

passed away on the 21st of august 2008 aged just 52

Uncle Terry was from the dagenham area in essex

Terry was married to Cathy who he spent many happy years with.
He also had 1 sister Linda and two daughters Sam and Teri.

He leaves behind also a very large extended family.

Uncle Terry was yet another victim to cancer.

My uncle Tel was just so cool. He really knew how to have a good time. He had such an amazing sesne of humour that you realy wouldn't expect from someone with such a stern face. To me he always looked like the dagenham mafia but inside he had such a soft heart.

He wasn't a member of my family whom I see very often but that didn't matter. He always treated people well and was very supportive of people. He would always ask how i'd been and how the kids were when I see him, no matter what time or distance had been between us.

He was a very outgoing person who was a little bit crazy in his younger days. And would be very good with the children i.e us growing up and inforce good discipline.

Uncle Tel was very well known in dagenham and had a wide circle of friends and these friends would stick by him untill his last days.

I am sure there is loads that I've missed out because uncle Tel was such a character. But only those closest to him can tell the best storys.

So I'll leave this page open for everyone who knew Uncle Terry to come forward and share in the memories, love and laughter that he has left in all our hearts.

Goodnight Uncle Tel I hope you sleep peacefully and keep a close eye over all you have left behind xxx


This site was created with the utmost respect for a very great kind man. With the intention of bringing all that knew him comfort and closer together at this sad time.

Goodbye uncle Tel R.I.P
gone but remembered always
FOR BEING THE GENTLE GIANT YOU REALLY WERE!!!

To My Old Friend Tel..

Hiya Tel

I was so sad to hear that you had passed over to be with the angels..
I first ever met you and Chris at the spiritulist church from the moment I met you and Chris I knew you were such a lovely couple.. We had some laughs at church and round your house.. You and Chris always made me feel very welcome.. Every sunday night me Debbie and Diane would come round and you would go up and down in your lift in the front room lol That was a cool lift.. You use to make me cd's and I still have War Of The Worlds that you made for my Peter..

The last time I see you, You were with Chris at Asda's and she told me that you had cancer I could tell by looking at you that you wasnt a well man.. Im sorry I didnt come nd say my goodbyes to you but I didnt know when your funeral was.. But you will always have a special place in my heart xx

Please look over Cathy as I know she probably misses you loads.. You were such a lovely couple and im so sad for her..

Till we meet again Tel
Be Blessed
Sam xxxx

a place nearby

I listen to this song whenever i have lost someone dear to me its by a lady called lene marlin and is called a place neaby

I entered the room
Sat by your bed all through the night
I watched your daily fight
I hardly knew
The pain was almost more than I could bear
And still I hear
Your last words to me

[Chorus]:
Heaven is a place nearby
So I won't be so far away
And if you try and look for me
Maybe you'll find me someday
Heaven is a place nearby
So there's no need to say goodbye
I will ask you not to cry
I'll always be by your side

You just faded away
You spread your wings, you had flown
Away to something unknown
Wish I could bring you back
You're always on my mind
About to tear myself apart
You have your special place in my heart, always

[Chorus]

And even when I go to sleep
I still can hear your voice
And those words
I never will forget

[Chorus]


ALWAYS THINKING OFF YOU AND MISSING YOU DEARLY UNCLE TEL XXXXXX

Im sure uncle Tel would love these words for you Aunt Cath

I just wanted you to know.

That I'll be with you wherever you go.

I've gotten my wings and learned how to fly.

And I'll dry your tears whenever you cry.

Though I've went away and it seems we're apart.

You will forever be my soul and my heart.

The love that we shared will not go astray.

For deep in my heart it will always stay.

You held me close when I was filled with pain.

And your smile gave me sunshine when my life filled with rain.

You guided me when no one else could.

You protected me when no one else would.

We've shared so much that mere words can't express how knowing you has made me feel truly blessed.

So now my Cathy, fret not for me, for now my soul is truly free.

So think of me often, as much as you can.

And I'll always be there to hold your hand.

I'll be your angel and guide you through life.

I'll give you comfort through torment and strife.

So thank you Cathy again and again, thank you always for being my wife and my friend.
