...Yes, that title is rather poignant, isn't it?<br />I was holidaying in wales when I heard the sad news of his passing. I was utterly devastated, although I saw it coming after he lost his wife.<br />He was one of those rare people you come across once in a lifetime - initially seeming rather uncouth, but who really grows on you over time...there was a genuinely caring and tender heart under that tough exterior - you are absolutely right!<br /><br />Than you so much for getting to know him too, Dulcina. I really appreciate your interest.<br /><br />Hugs xxxYgrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300519608303898969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177935673290025151.post-212317068255087272014-04-01T14:12:35.035+01:002014-04-01T14:12:35.035+01:00Many thanks, Lorraine...just HAD to write about hi...Many thanks, Lorraine...just HAD to write about him!<br /><br />Hugs xxxYgrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300519608303898969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177935673290025151.post-4084917016723810402014-04-01T14:11:05.560+01:002014-04-01T14:11:05.560+01:00Thank you so much Margie!
