In loving memory of John James Paul Connolly who sadly passed away on 2nd December 2017
A loving, caring, and generous Dad, Grandad, Brother and friend. Lived life to the full and thrived on time with those around him up to the very end of life.
Was never bitter with what he was going through and as he put it, never far from a smile.
Will leave a hole in so many lives, but we were all lucky to have a share in the time he was with us.
Dad asked for no flowers at his funeral, but donations to cancer research, I have set a page up on here for ease. Love to all.

![My first match with dad was on 10/02/1990. Fittingly, our last match together was against Sheffield Wednesday in 2017. It was an amazing day. A 2-0 win. A few beers, some food and after the game, dad met one of his favourite villa players- Tony Morley.](https://d24pb0tc2lc7uj.cloudfront.net/WD60h2HBWV_T0Hphb5vXDhmPDKc=/fit-in/800x600/public/assets/uploads/2f3af0cc-b6bc-48e2-91c7-6d77aa1f980d.jpeg)

![One of my last photos of dad. Taken from the first time he went in to the hospice. Although a sick man, he sunk about 6 pints the day after this was taken and was told to be more quiet. I loved that about dad. Was all about having a good time.
