sharrovian Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hello Black Eyes, yes that is my cousin Ray, he moved down to Norfolk in the 1980s to work for his son-in-law and has remained down there ever since, he and his wife are now both in there eighties but Ray is still keeping well physically although he has a bit of a short-term memory problem, Brenda suffers from M.E but is otherwise ok, they both came up to Sheffield in the summer to stay with my brother and my wife and I have visited them regularly over the years. Sadly they lost there only daughter to breast cancer in 1990 and afterwards cared for there 3 grandchildren for some years. He was always motorbike daft.
