As many of you may know my Dad, Jim suffered a stroke several years ago and has battled with the after effects of this since then, loyally supported by my Mother June, to whom he was married for more than 60 years.
Dad finally passed away in hospital last Friday, 10th Feb 2012.
To remember him and express sympathy to June and the family we would like you to donate to the Stroke Association rather than send flowers.
