  • I have fond memories as a young boy visiting my grandfather at 87 Pitt Street. He had one of the biggest vegetable gardens I had ever seen. My strongest memory as an adult was being with him when he took his final breadth and passed away in his late 80's. Joined by his wife Gladys three months later.
