Grandad Skipper

You may recall that, at the beginning of the month, I blogged about the death of a true gentleman. A gentleman unrelated to me, but loved by me and mine all the same. Last night, I realised that I should have given you some background information on him. And then I remembered this, and my mum told me about this. A hero and a gentleman.

Sounds like he really was a wonderful man and a true gentleman. I'm glad you have happy memories to remember him by.

Ruth after reading the newspaper articles on this fine gentleman I realized how blessed you were to have known him, my fear is that I may die with my music still in me and it is obvious he didn't and lived a full life....wonderful to read of such a heroic man...Hugs

Brilliant articles in the news paper. Even without them he'd still be a hero of ours.
