Ron Leslie Finney

ron passed away on july 24 2007.he was a lorry driver for a recycling company.he had lived in
exmouth for seven years but was born in leicester.he was a much loved husband to marie and a father
to treasa,becky,scott and alice.he did have another son but sadly they never got to meet.he was also
a loved brother and will be sadly missed by his sister pat.he was a grandad to 4 grandchildren who
all miss him so much.he was told in june after returning from a hoilday with his wife that he had
lung cancer.he did have some treatment but sadly he went to sleep on the 24-7-07 and never woke up.

i really miss my dad and find it hard not having him around,every day i have things i want to tell
him and it just is not the same telling other peolpe.he was always a happy man and everything he did
in his life was for his family.as long as he had his family around him he was happy.i just want him
back.when he passed away his life was just starting to get better,he had just met his daughter
treasa and had made contact with his sister.he was so happy having them back in his life.he had
started taking my mum on hoilday abroad which they had never done.it all just seems unfair.

tyler age six is rons eldest grandson and was very close to each other.ron used to call tyler his
pod and ron would be the pea.they spent every friday night together and saw each other
everyday.tyler misses him so much but has been so brave since ron passed away.

really the only thing i can tell people about dad was his live was all about family.he was happy as
long as we were.

marie his wife was everything to him,he loved taking her on hoilday or on days out.they both worked
very hard in their lives to give us the things we wanted.my mum reminds me of a jigsaw with a piece
missing now dad is gone.i know some people say things happen for a reason but at the moment i cant
see any reason greater than mine as to why he was taken.
