Alas no, I was too young and I didn't see him much before he died, likewise my grandfather, it's a long story, however I heard a lot of it through my mother and through my great-grandmothers photo albums which we have. In fact, I've learnt a lot about my great-grandfather from the albums and a fair bit about my grandfather and great-uncle Ted.
I do just about remember him though, oh he had a great sense of humour, him and my grandfather when they got together, oh dear, I'm chuckling to myself just thinking about it, and Ted was quite good at drawing, I remember him drawing me a picture of a train. I must have been...oh...five at the time I'd say, perhaps a little older, but he always had a joke to tell and a smile to crack. He was a lovely person, I just wish I had known him and my grandfather a bit more, but that is how it goes.
