His wife Maude was a friend of Aunt Ivy's from her childhood in the Falkland Islands. Uncle's daughter, Moya, is front right. It was a second marriage for both of them....Aunty was 54 and Uncle 46. They met because of their Falklands background..... a work colleague of Aunty's was Uncle's sister, who introduced them to one another. They spent 32 very happy years together until Uncle sadly passed away in 1998...Aunty is now 95 years old.
