“Whenever we heard it on Radio 1 we would telephone him and say, Grandpa switch on the radio!! He was the best of men and I miss him terribly.”
I am the third of four daughters and our father died in 1974 when I was four years old. We lived in Kenya at the time and my paternal family lived in Somerset.
My family are farmers and my grandpa stepped in as a father figure. I loved him with my whole heart; he had so much time for us.
He was kind and loving and even writing this and thinking of him makes me cry.
He was a dairy farmer and loved his cows and before it was fashionable he played the radio whilst milking. He loves the song named above so whenever we heard it on Radio 1 we would telephone him (I can still remember the phone number!) and say, Grandpa switch on the radio!!
He was the best of men and I miss him terribly.
