It was an honour to know you Sir. To spend time with you,hear your war time stories & marvel in morbid curiousity at the thumb you lost defending this country you made home in the 1930's.
Say hello to Grandma for me & enjoy your rest. You deserve it.
R.I.P.
I love you & always will.

So sorry Pete, Grandpas are truly the best and how lucky you got to have him for so long. My condolences to you and your family.

Been expecting this for a while now. Still hurts & upsetting despite knowing the end wasn't far off. He was 92 & 9 months though so he had a good innings.

Finally said goodbye to Grandad on Tuesday. Was an emotional day, but he's a peace now & with Grandma now.
Never realised how hard a life he had prior to coming to the UK (and after for a while) as he never talked about his past that much.
Anyway. R.I.P sir.

Never got to meet mine. In fact know nothing about them and no one left to ask.
