My Uncle Dick, passed away 9th October, 2010 at the grand old age of 88. A good innings as the saying goes.
I attended his funeral yesterday which was very moving. It was also an eye-opening affair as I also got to meet a leg of the family that until yesterday I was totally unaware of.
I guess it’s a sad fact of life these days that we are so wrapped up in our own worlds. The pace of life is such that we don’t find the time to socialise like folks use to. Families are also more distributed these days.
Although our family origin is centred around the Worthing area the various members of the family, who attended the funeral, had travelled in from Hastings, Manchester, Portsmouth and beyond. Not huge distances by modern standards but far enough to prevent the rellies from just popping in for a cupper.
Dick, although we didn’t get together very often, in my way I’ll miss you.
My thoughts are with Joan, Kathy, Barbie and Family.
