  • Frank (as I knew him) was a thinking man. He worked in civil aviation at the Wellington head office. I was married to his son during this time.
    However, although he returned uninjured from the war, later in life he had flashbacks of helping wounded and deceased airmen out of their planes, to send them home. He did not recover from this.
    He really enjoyed rhodedendrons and planted as many as he could around his home at 165 Cecil Rd Wadestown.
    He moved in with us in Wanuiomata after a major stroke. He died a couple of years later.
