Personal Notes:

Kind and gentle. A good father and family man. Always had a project on the go at home, for friends and family and down the church. Happy to help with chores like the dishes. Would cook occasionally. A keen member of the Boy Scouts when he was a lad. Plumber's apprentice when war broke out. Joined the RAF. Worked on Spitfire engines laterly in India. Ended the war as a Corproal. Self employed plumber after the war often working in conjunction with his brother Alec, a carpenter. Payne Bros, Builders had a workshop in a yard between Bartholomew St and ??? St in Newbury accessible via an entrance adjacent to The Catherine Wheel pub. Sought more security after suffering from sciatica and joined Redfire Boilers. Became frustrated upon retirement and, so, worked part-time for plumbers in Thatcham. Enjoyed walking. Wore a flat cap and liked a stick. Enjoyed hunting for bird's nests in season. Didn't smoke or drink. Enjoyed simple, plain "english" food. Played the piano and the piano accordion. Would sing parts in hymns and loved bass.
