  • My father was an interesting complex man full of charm and chat perhaps a better grandfather than Dad
    I do miss having him in my life because he was there for me when our family was going through difficult times. He absolutely loved the army life but as a child I did not appreciate living in army camps where everyone knew each other’s business however I am grateful we made move to New Zealand
