My father passed away on wednesday moring after a long battle with COPD. He worked most of his life on the land, mainly at two adjacent farms owned by different farmers before moving to lighter work with the local water department.
Hard working guy who enjoyed the simpler things in life. He never had any desire to travel far from home and seldom went farther that 100 miles from his place of birth.
He had his 79 birthday just a few weeks ago and lived with his wife of 57 years.
Its been a sad few days for all of us but mother is positive about the future and we are all around to support her.
Funeral is on tuesday which Im not looking forward to.
This now leaves me as the oldest member of our branch of Thomson"s, I have two son"s but as yet no grand children.
I guess things will get better with the passing of time.
