LOVELY

Aww so nice, think it's great when you have photo like this . Spanning the generations. I have a one year old grandson Rude who I mind a lot now I'm retired and boy does he keep me on my toes.Just stating to walk and pulling himself up on everything , can,t look away for a minute. Just love him to bits, tho.

Rudebox, thank you so much for this thread - I have really enjoyed the memories and insight into your Grandad's life.

I have giggled at his cartoons - a very talented man - and filled up on a couple of occasions! LOL!

It's a real rollercoaster of emotions when you're clearing a loved one's home.

Beautiful picture of him at 2 years old and even more beautiful one with him tenderly holding his Great-granddaughter.

Treasure him and Good Health to you, Sir.

Thank you Christo

A Game Set 'looted' from Germany during World War 2. The origin has been scratched out- possibly due to the fact that this item was looted.

Everything is solid wood and the pieces are beautifully crafted.

For those of you who have stated that you enjoyed reading this thread, this 'snapshot' when I first posted it: our Fred has now passed on, on Monday 16th April 2018 after a short but nasty infection. He was 97 years of age.

Glad I posted this Topic, I have enjoyed looking back at the pictures and comments from fellow people interested in History.

My sympathies , Rude . He lived a long life like my mum . Still hard to part with them though . Condolences to all your family . You have some lovely memories and treasures he left behind.
