I didn't know 'Grandad' but my memory of him is the look of absolute pride on the day he walked his grandaughter Claire down the aisle, and gave her away....He didn't take his eyes off her! Very precious memories!

Granddad
I heard so much about “Granddad” before I actually met him. I started dating his Granddaughter Claire in April 2008. I was told about his cooking, how he used to walk for his paper, the steepness of his road and how he was a WWII veteran.
Claire said she tried to visit him as often as possible, twice a year maybe.

When I finally met Granddad, it was a great pleasure – not just because he is a Manchester United fan. For me, this man is one of many thousands who was willing to make the biggest sacrifice for his country and could recall it like it was yesterday.
Needless to say, our trips to see Granddad (and Harry) were no longer limited to a couple of times a year. We tried to get there for long weekends, surprise visits - not only for Granddad, but to see other family as well.
