Anthony John Connolly
He was born on the 5th of October 1958 and died on the 19th of October 2006
after a 3 month battle in hospital.He was 48 years old when he was took away
from us.
God only takes the best, and the day my dad was took away from us, God must have
been looking for an extra special angel and he certainly has gained one.
My dad Tony (my best friend) was born in Gateshead and throughout his life,
lived in different parts of Gateshead, mainly in Low Fell. He worked as a
printer and had his own printing buisness, aswell as doing Northern Soul
DJ'n at Wigan Casino.
When he was younger, he used to organise and run trips from Gateshead to Wigan
Casino, so he was very well known and respected.This was proved when 600+ people
turned up at his funeral. We held a northern soul disco on the night of his
funeral and the only thing that was missing was him (the greatest dancer).
One of his greatest talents was his northern soul dancing, when i was younger he
would pour talc over the floor and northern soul, he used to try so hard to
teach me how to do it but i never quite got the hang of it, he used to laugh and
say i had two left feet. Before the disco we held for him, me and my cousin
Nicola practised till we got the hang of it and i and i know he would of been
proud, watching down on us northern souling as he used to say we both had two
left feet and he would call Nicola "Aveline" as she always wears high
shoes, he would tell her she would never be able to northern soul in high shoes
but she managed at the disco, he would of been looking down on us and
laughing.
In april this year, there was a northern disco held in his memory and i know
he really would have been ther, dancing next to, he really was the greatest
dancer.
Everyone who knew or met my dad had lots of respect for him as he was such a
gentleman and got along with everyone.
Although he only lived such a short life, he achieved so much and had a fun
and exciting life. He is missed dearly by me and my little brother Michael, his
sister Julie, brother Shaun, neice Nicola, and nephew Joseph aswell as good
friend Jackie who also has a page on here for him, and not forgetting all other
family and friends.
Not a day goes by when he isnt in our thoughts, he is missed terribly but is
now at peace and he has joined his mam, dad, gran and other friends and family
up there.
The songs on this page were some of my dads favourites.
Faith Hill-There you'll be- The words in the song totally relate to him.
Luther Vandross-So amazing- This was a song he loved, it was his wedding song
aswell as funeral song.
Lou Rolls-youll never find another love like mine-this song was a one he loved
he would dance and sing to it he loved it.
A million times we've needed you.
A million times we've cried.
If our love could have saved you,
You never would have died.
Things we feel most deeply
and the hardest things to say,
My darling dad, we love you
In a very special way.
If we could have one lifetime wish,
One dream that could come true
We'd pray to God with all our hearts
For just one more day with you.
God saw you getting tired dad
A cure was not to be
So he put his arms around you
and whispered come live with me
With tearful eyes we watched you suffer
and saw you fade away
You know we loved you dearly
but couldnt make you stay
Your golden heart stopped beating
Your eyes were put to rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
That he only takes the best
Hope you are watching over us all, take care of all of us Dad
Keep on dancing and keep me a space up there on that dancefloor for when we meet
again
xxxxxxxxx love you forever xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxx Rest in Peace Dad xxxxxxxxx
