<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1934 Wreath Crown, post: 4582649, member: 76965&quot;]Dad, a tough disciplinarian and one who didn’t take too kindly to criticism and yet a very fair individual who was loved by his colleagues, especially his juniors. I guess the personality went with the job. When you’re flying a bomber or transport aircraft knowing you have zero protection against the enemy, it does make you tough.</p><p><br /></p><p>He passed away on New Year’s Eve 2010 and I felt his hand growing cold in mine. New Year’s eve can never be the same for me again. I consider myself a fortunate son to have had the honour of being there when he took his last breath and for lowering him in his final resting place with my own hands. Although we lived in different countries, during his final years I managed to visit him several times a year and spend quality time together. I am blessed to have had the chance to tell him and to show him that I loved him and he reciprocated the emotion. If he is looking down he will know that I still feel the void after almost 10 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>I’ll raise a glass to him any time any day…….</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1134934[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
