Remembering a dear husband, father and grandfather. Greatly missed. At 18 he was an apprentice boatbuilder in Surrey and Sussex. Once qualified he continued to work on boats as he did his national service in the RAF and worked in Pembroke dock, Newhaven and on air sea rescue boats at Calshot. Later he worked in aircraft design including the VC10 and Concorde. A family man who loved telling a good story. He would be honoured to have his name on the Whitby Lifeboat alongside his son Clive.
