  • The most wonderful Dad in the world. I was lucky to have him for 24 years. He taught me so much. We had wonderful adventures together. He courted my mother from when she was 16, taught her to drive then, married her 4 years later and adored her until the day he died, aged 77. They were 2nd cousins . Family name was Cresswell. Bless you darling Dad I think of you often. x
