Uncle 'Tim' he was never 'Edwin' to us was my much loved uncle. He, as I was growing up was my 'dashing hero'. He represented a life that I never thought I in my little Yorkshire town would ever emulate. He appeared periodically throughout my childhood to visit his family, my mam and dad (his sister and brother-in-law)and I as a child looked up to him as some sort of hero. I managed (with the help of the internet) in his later years, to have a happy connection with him. He told me of his wonderful time when following retirement, he and Donna bought a camper van and toured America. I loved his wit, intelligence and humour. I just wish he was here now so I could share with him the wonderful life I am living as I with my husband travel the world. I loved him. - Posted by: June Pallas (Niece) on: Jan 13, 2016
