Dad, I will always remember the funny memories we have like at Christmas you fell backwards into all of the prezzies because we were dizzy and how you always danced with us.
Dad was lovely to my little Sister Ebony, he used to kiss and cuddle her all of the time. We love you. R.I.P Father.

connas was and remains the most inspiring person I've ever met, he was my best friend who always did everything from the heart - not for the wallet....the most respectful way a man can be....even in crap times he could always see some humor to make everyone realize you should always look on the bright side of life...he was punk rock with a heart of gold....he was even more inspiring to me with his taste and collection in music, he had a limitless passion for it
if hed wanted to be make a career out of music hed have been 99% better than most pros out there and cleared the floor with them (well filled it i mean) i believe he never really wanted to do that as it would have taken a lot of his love for music away
he was a loving man and the best mate you could ever ask for, i miss him so much
respect fairsie xxx

Sleep tight Connas.

I knew Connas a bit at School, but after that he moved to Tynemouth and joined my circle of friends. EVERYONE liked Connas, where ever we went, whoever we met EVERYONE liked Connas. looking back at that time with him I think "What a wonderful bloke.

Met Connas when he started seeing Dee years ago. Though he was a really nice, kind bloke and used to chat to him all the time about the early rave music and breakbeats. Had the best Halloween ever just last year when me and my brother John and a couple friends went over to Connas and Dees house and we had fireworks on the beach, few drinks and ghost stories and of course, plenty of lovely old skool breaks all night. Was a brilliant night and i'll never forget it, or Connas
RIP m8

Connas was my next door neighbour in Jesmond (Henshelwood Tce) over 20 years ago and in that brief period we had some great times, although I must admit to being a bit scared of him at first. Connas always seemed unfazed by peoples actions and always accepted everyone as they were.
Connas:
Lent me his smart shoes when I wanted to go out and make an impression.
Just grinned when I told him that my girlfriend (now wife) whilst drunk crashed my car into his minivan.
Noticed I liked old radios and gave us a great bakelite radio as a wedding present which we still have today.
Gave me a collection of antiques and some cash in exchange for my old Rover P6 which I think then got sold to Phil Knowles.
Introduced me to the music of Iggy Pop. We both also shared a fondness of Kevin Rowland (Dexy's Midnight Runners) although no one else seemed to share this opinion.
Many more stories, that like Connas, will never be forgotten.....
