Born William Shewan 9th June, 1925. Died 26th April, 2006.

Bill was born and raised in South Shields, with his sister Lilian and brother James.

Upon leaving school Bill first found work at his local library.
He left the library after a short period to join the R.A.F, where he became a Wireless Operator on
the Lancaster Bombers, and remained in service until 1947.
Bill returned to the library to work a second time, and it was upon his return he met his first wife
Joan.
Bill and Joan were married in 1955, and it was around this time that he decided on a career change.
Bill joined the Metropolitan Police in October 1954 training first in Hendon, then moving to London
and finally settling in Surrey.
Sadly his first wife died in 1971, having suffered many years of illness due to kidney failure.

Following this tragedy Bill took up sailing as a hobby, crewing yachts all round the South Coast as
far as the Mediterranean. His love for the sea remained with him throughout his life.

Some years later Bill was introduced to his second wife Tessa.
Bill and Tessa were married in 1978, and had many happy years together until his death in April
2006.

Bill retired from the Police Force in 1985, and soon after returned to his home town to live.

Sadly in 2000 Bill was diagnosed with Parkinsons disease. Having always been well and in good
health, he fought this illness with such bravery until the end.

Bill will be remembered as a great man, loved and respected by family and friends alike. He
accomplished so much in his life, and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

I looked up to the sky last night
and saw two twinkling stars,
I thought about the distance
of Jupiter and Mars.
I thought how far was heaven
was it further than these two
I wondered just how far it was
to Gods garden and to you.
I know one day I'll find out
just how far I'll need to travel,
I know that God one day for me
this mystery will unravel
Until that day I'll miss you
every hour that I live through
I'll miss you till the day
comes that I'll finally be with you

MEMORIES

�.♥.��.��. ♥.��.��.♥.��.. ♥��.♥.��.���. ♥

I have a picture of you I carry in my heart
Close my eyes to see it when the world gets dark
I have a memory of you I carry in my soul
I wrap it close around me when the nights get cold
If you ask me how I am doing I would say just fine
But the truth is if you could read my mind
Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you
After all this time you are still with me that is true
Somehow you remain so deep inside
This memory I will never ever want to hide

�.♥.��.��. ♥.��.��.♥.��.. ♥��.♥.��.���. ♥
