My dad, Dave Forrester was still in his prime when he passed away.
He was killed September 3rd 1974 doing what he loved, racing in the Isle of Mann TT. He somehow
lost control of his bike and crashed, he died instantly.
I was 14days old when my dad died, i did not know this fantastic man.
He left behind my mum, and my 4year old brother.
After 33 years we still love and miss him so much.
My dad was a master builder by trade, and we lived in London. He was an experienced rider and had
competed in the 1973 Senior Manx Grand Prix when, from a field of over 100 competitors, he finished
in 40th place.

Think of me and know I am with you,
Think of me and smile.
Think of me and know that our parting
Is only for a while.

On the days that you feel so desperate
To see my smiling face,
Just believe in your heart I am with you
And that I'm in a beautiful place.

So think of me and remember,
All the memories in your heart,
And believe and know that this is true,
We are never really apart.
Have a good w/end my love to you Jill

dear Jill your dad may have only been able to spend 14 days with you in the flesh but we both know he's been with you for last 33 years in spirit watching over you and yours. I love the site, it has a lovely feeling about it and now i've found it I will visit often.

thank you

I just wanted to thank people for leaving me messages.
They mean so much, really they do. Just by saying you are sorry, or by lighting a candle it really helps. I have viewed many sites on here, and lit many candles and wondered if i should, i didn't want to butt in on anyones greif, but i realise now i have my own site for my dad, that we want to share our loved ones with you, we welcome the messages of support...Thank you from the bottom of my heart.



Its odd, because i was only 14days old when my dad died, so i never knew him, and people would as i recall say when growing up, well at least you had your mum, she does a fab job...and yes she did, she coped great with all life threw at her, and with me it was usally always crap, But that doesn't mean that i didn't grow up, feeling part of me was missing, i longed to know more about my dad, but no one spoke of him, except every so often, and then they would get upset and i would be too scared to ask again encase i upset anyone, i would often cry at night and try to imagine what my dad was like. I so wish i had met my dad or his friends and family i so wanted to hear what he was like. I hope he would be proud of me. sometimes even though i'm 33 i just want my dad, i want a cuddle. I wish it didn't still hurt so much, dad i miss you so much. And i'm sorry for causing mum trouble when i was growing up. Dad look out for all the little angels in the sky, Little Ethan and Daniel and many others whom i've sadly met along my life.

Till we meet again dad, i'll try to do my best and make you proud of me, i promise i will bring my children up to love and respect everyone and everything that life has, and to make sure they have all the oppertunities i couldn't have.
I love you dad and always will xxxxxx
