R a d i a l
Later in Hyde in the New Forest, to where they moved when Sheila
retired in 1981, he continued his political work, chaired the local
branch of the Royal British Legion, and even delivered meals on
wheels until he was nearly 85! Radio increasingly became the central
feature of his routine.
Even more so after Sheila died in 1997 and his mobility became
more and more limited. It was one of his few means of contact with
the outside world, as with great determination he stayed on alone in
the home he loved so dearly, looked after by a battery of carers.
From 1992 he had run the Tuesday net. He was always terribly
disappointed when he couldn’t make it, and it was with great regret
that in the end he had to give it up. He is survived by three children,
Michael, Felicity and David, and six grand-children.
