Launch a Memory Whitby

David Lock

My dad Dave was very proud of his seafaring heritage. His mum was from Whitby and this is where his dad, an Australian soldier, met his mum while convalescing during the Second World War. They were married in the church at the top of the steps. Nan was a Locker, a family which had been part of the Whitby life boat service I believe. Dad loved boats. He spent his youth as a Sea Cadet and went on to spend many holidays on narrow boats where we were his “crew”. His ashes are scattered in the sea
