My grandfarther Ron was at D day on the beaches as a member or the Engineers he married his wife just after the 2nd world war whilst rationing was still on.
They had one Child my farther,
he worked hard and worked his way up from full electrical installations to include Himley Hall in staffordshire to local bakeries and RAF Stafford 16MU.
He worked for A long established company Barnet and Soams A major Staffordshire installer.
He then spent the rest of his working life as Senior electrical Engineer for Twyford Bathrooms Maintaining two of there main sites.
A local man and one of three brothers, Worked hard, paid his taxes and beleived that you should never be in debt and bills should be paid on the dot.
To him the NHS was Cradle to Grave care and The Banks could be trusted Lol.
They lost there only son Alan in 1976 in a car accident in Zambia whilst working abroard and his wife over 15 years ago after a happy retirement and driving in europe and the whole of Scotland.
He looked after his home in Chesterton on his own albeit a bit messy at times but thats just us Engineers, I supose it needs a partner around us to tidy up a bit.
Continued to maintain the local methodist chapel until it closed and continued to drive right up until 2006.
In 2000 I thought something was wrong with him and after much talking he told me he had Cancer and we became even closer.
in 2005 I found in his pocket a piece of card with "My name is Ronald Bourne and I live at *******", Just thought he was getting a little forgetfull.
He started to have problems passing water we were told it was a side affect of the Cancer so the hospital Catherterised Him
In his usual way life continued Albeit the persistent water infections until he decided to change the battery in a clock and fell of a chair, I realy thought he had broken his Hip but after many weeks in hospital managed to get him home.
Things were ok he started going out fist to day care and then Douglas Mcmillan.
We had being Promised the Respite breaks that should be available to carers but when they were needed were told it had become a table based decision if you the carer needed a break.
Finally after many telephone calls we secured a break for June 2011 after 2 days at Brighton House a local respite he got out of bed fell and broke his hip whilst suffering yet another water infection.
Thats it for today folkes will pick up tommorow.
Have A good Day Stephen
