This site is a tribute to Bryan Haslem Irving, who was born in Sunderland on August 22, 1942. He is much loved and will always be remembered. 

My dad was the life and soul of the party, first to the bar and last to leave. If you met him he probably would have bought you a drink. Loving, kind and sarcastic to the end and may have even offended you his time.

He loved football and was a NUFC fan and enjoyed going to the match he was their lucky charm with them winning on most of the times he went to St James. Even though some of his family always reminded him we actually born a macam! At least the last match he watched we actually won!

He was a loving husband to Mavis and doting dad to Michelle and me. He adored his grandchildren Lewis, William and Bridgett. He will always be in our hearts.

Any donations to this page will help fund the British Lung Foundation, who advised us during his fight with IPF. Love you, miss you Dad always in our hearts
