I’m thinking of you grandad, I miss you more and more everyday. You’re constantly in my thoughts and I wish you were around to make more memories. I remember when I was in year5 and had to write a biography, as part of my school work, about someone and I chose you. I wrote about your childhood and how you grew up in a strict and dismal home and went to Canterbury Road school and then moved to Wilson marriage school later on you said you remembered hearing the sirens and having to hide underground in the shelters from the bombs. In your adult life you trained to be a carpenter then joined Hills as a builder after training. Which got stopped When you got called up for National service, in 1953, you said you enjoyed the army. However was then demobbed in 1956 and went back to building trade and then moved up a role into being a site agent in 1974 until you retired. You spent your retired life gardening or making something in your beloved work shop and you said your hopes for the future were to stay health and have a peaceful life. I hope that was fulfilled. I love you lots Grandad.
