Harry Greenwood

My beloved son Harry Greenwood born 8th December 1984 07.00hrs and died 5th September 2005
18.20hrs.
He was only 20 yrs old and his occupation was a shot blaster and a qualified fork lift truck driver,
he had also gained his health and safety certificate at Bassets Trebor sweet factory in Sheffield.

Harry had started a new job as a double glazing labourer at the time of his death.

Harry had just moved and was living on a farm in Deepcar with members of his sisters husband
family.He loved Deepcar and Stocksbridge in Sheffield near Barnsley, Harry was born and brought up
there.
Harry had a younger sister Rose and two elder sisters Jessica and Kerrie , he also had a younger
half brother Jack. Harry was very fond of his nephews Kyle,Cullen,Ellis,Jay and his new little niece
Nicole.

On September 5th approx. 18.10hrs Harry had gone to his local "Rock" at Greenmoor in a slumber
little village after work and had just bought his first pint of the evening when his new mate of a
few weeks "Matt" asked for a ride on Harrys motorbike (Matt was intrested in buying the bike) .
Harry was so concernd his friend (who was going to ride pillion) may be cold he lent him his jacket
to wear. Harry left his pint on the bar (he only had a few sips from it) and shouted to his other
mates "i will be back soon".
On a warm clear sunny evening Harry and his friend died when being in collision with a car
travelling in the opposite direction on a slight curve in the quiet country road which was a blind
bend. Harry never returned to finish his drink and died instantly with a serious injury to the chest
and his friend died a few hours later in hospital from head injurys.

At the inquest neither Harry or his motorcycle were at fault.

Harry was my only son and when i was pregnant i always longed for a little boy .I had a miscarriage
with my first pregnancy and lost my first baby boy.Harry was very sturdy and chubby as a baby and
was always sleeping .He loved cars and bikes from being a very young boy and was fascinated with
cars.

Harry was named after his dads friend (Michael Foster alias nickname Harry) who strangely also died
instantly in a motorbike accident at approx. the same age 5th June 1981.

Harry was a reserved sort of lad and up to him being around 18yrs old he was not bothered about
going out much.The only thing he really cared about was his family and he was really mixed up as a
young lad due to his mum and dad getting divorced when he was 4 years old.
Harry had a protective side towards his mum and younger sister and was always winding his sisters
and mum up by tormenting and teasing us. His sisters were always ruff and tumbling with him and miss
the fun they use to have.

Harry did not call me mum much he preferred to call me Muv or Muvva .Harry was very special to me
and i will always miss his loud music and the way he use to tell me to listen to the words in the
songs he played .He was very caring and was always concerned about what was happening in the world
.
The day the Angels took him he had on his wrist "end world poverty" charity wrist band.
I will miss our chats about cars and work and the way he use to have enthusiam to make his self
better and do better.

Every day and night i think of Harry as the pain of missing him does not get easier . Muv XXX.
