JVW Thomas
The only grandfather I got to know is being buried tonight 12000 miles away, I cannot be there to say goodbye and wish there was a way to tell him the following.
Grandfather,
You were definitely one of a kind.
A man of honour and integrity with a twinkle in the eye to let you know that while life is serious, you should never take it seriously.
A man of a thousand true tales, and ten thousand tall ones.
A man brave enough to fight when needed, and braver still in refusing to fight if there was no good reason.
A man who would help you by teaching you to do it for yourself.
Most of all, a man that wore red trousers in a world of grey suits.
RIP J V W Thomas you were one of the good ones.
