He then worked locally in Staines until he had a massive stroke 3 months before he was due to retire. He was in a wheelchair for another 20 months but died in 1988 - hence the shock of seeing his name on the net after all this time.My mother, who is still alive and fairly well, will be delighted to hear about it.

Things began to change toward the end of the sixties and management was shuffled about and new faces were brought in but it was mostly the long standing employees, not all of whom survived the restructuring, who I had most respec t for and your father was one of those, a thoroughly decent man who knew his job and did it well.
