Remember him! I take it he has gone bless him? cos of date brackets! Grantham Matters ought to do a death announcement!! Grantham journal do not on line although they keep telling me they do?( & I understand & respect families wishes) I only see months old obituaries? & that does not announce every body that has passed! Since I have been away I sometimes have not known who has died! for months & years sometimes! although in touch with some from Grantham not all knew who I knew so it just goes by! any how any thoughts on that Grantham matters! just an idea! mainly I must admit for Ex-Pats!
