We are all here today to celebrate your life, Howard James Stalker, son, brother, husband, father, uncle, nephew, cousin, son in law, brother in law, godfather, best friend, friend and colleague. Words can’t describe our love for you, we are going to shed a tear because you have gone but we are also going to smile because you have lived. For us you were the greatest man that ever lived, you were our example, inspiration, role model and the best life teacher we could ever want. Your ambition and tenacity, helped you conquer your world, you achieved your goals and dreams, and gave us the best life possible. It’s so inspiring to think how driven you were, to accomplish those dreams that never stayed as dreams, to travel as far, work in many places, to meet many people …show more content…
You were dedicated and devoted for your family and never gave up. We are lucky to have so many memories with you, we were a true family and intend to be in your memory. You are an amazing dad, intelligent, individual, special and generous, we are so privileged to have had the pleasure of growing up with you, the greatest dad we could ever have had. Your flamboyant style and adventurous fashion will never be forgotten, only now we can admit that you actually dressed quite well, you were a bigger fashionista than me! Your witty humour and terrible jokes that actually were quite funny too, like the famous ‘I’m Howard Stalker, Stalker not being the reason I was arrested last week.’ We promise to continue telling your amusing jokes and funny stories. We’ll play your music and raise glass in your honour whilst smoking one of your cigarettes in your way. We vow to not sell any of your cars and boat’s as they will be our projects. We’ll name our kids wherever they are conceived, after your
Good evening. I would like to begin by welcoming each and every one of you to this joyous and stressful occasion.
Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen - I must admit, I am more nervous about participating in this wedding than I was as the groom (bridegroom) at my own wedding. Maybe it's because I have been married thirty years and I know what my son is getting himself in to!
This speech uses quotes that are skillfully woven into his more personal message, which is a good way of adding humor and providing the speaker with material that is neither offensive or dull. He also includes several jokes that are popular in wedding speeches, but has given his own twist on them to add originality
Since the night Lamar almost passed I have thought about writing to your family every day to express how sorry I am about the pain Lamar and your family have endured since the night of his overdose.
I’m glad we have Maurice, my mother’s younger brother here today. Ella, her older sister, unfortunately couldn’t make it, but I know the news of my mothers death hit her hard. And I know that she prayed with all her will, for my mother.
I'd like to thank you all for the outpouring of support and condolences on the loss of my beautiful son Adam. My entire family appreciates it. This is my eulogy to Adam:
I want to thank the most wonderful parents a child could ever have. Not only for the love, support and guidance over the years, but also for everything you’ve done towards today. Your massive contribution has been priceless and without you both we would have never managed and today would not have been possible or so special. Thank you Mom and Dad from the bottom of our hearts. And thank you Virginia for having such a wonderful son.
On behalf of my entire family, I want to thank all of you for your compassion and for being present here today. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Mauri-Lynne, and I'm Lionel's daughter. Dad was devoted to every one of you. We all hope that you'll share your memories of him with us, if not today then in the weeks and months to come.
I stand before you today to pay my last respects, and to say my final goodbyes, to my father Harry.
Well, good afternoon everyone, for those of you that don?t know me my name is Lee and I?m Janie?s dad, and in keeping with tradition, it is my honor and privilege to deliver the ?Father of the Bride Speech?. Having to make this speech is one of the few opportunities in a married man?s life when he is allowed to do all of the talking...and I intend to make the most of it.
It’s hard to imagine how I’m going to go a day without speaking to him, because he’d call me every single day. I know he was a very busy man, but he would never forget to take the time to call me to see how I was. It’s the little things like that I’ll never forget about him. Although William’s death was sudden and came as a shock to all of us, I know in my heart he would not want us to spend forever grieving. Rather, William wants us all to remember our favorite moments we spent with him.
We have just won the battle for our hope. And for that I am very happy, and grateful and honoured. But my gratitude does not end with a thank you, it rather begins with it and extends towards a plead, a request, that although we have crossed the first milestone of achieving our dream, in the race to come
tribute to his wife – how living away from home has caused him to miss
Hello everyone, Today I am going to be talking to all of you about a very special day, I'm turning 13. I am very happy about my birthday and can't wait for the very special things coming to me and the grateful gifts that I might get. My birthday is in 2 days and I can't wait cause I mean turning a teenager is actually pretty sweet, and I hope that it will be a good time with family also. See what we have been thinking for my birthday party is most likely going to Helium. Helium is like a place where you can go and jump on trampolines and do fun things like playing dodgeball there, and also my favorite is the basketball dunking drill where you can do crazy dunks in the air which seems like it is fun to do.
Before I begin I would like to thank all of you here on behalf of my mother, my brother and myself, for your efforts large and small to be here today, to help us mark my fathers passing.
