Deepest sympathy on the loss of your Dad, Rae. We knew Rae and Maureen though rifle shooting - they were a lovely couple. I remember your Mum sewing quilts with your Dad's blue shirts when he retired! We also had Jason boarding with us in Smart Road - a great lad to have around. He then went on to live in Clemow Road. Trust your families and keeping safe and well.
Sending our condolences to you all with Rae's passing. Many of the Police Group knew Rae well and had great working times and experiences with him, RIP,
