"My David will be thrilled to read this. He was very fond of Bob. He first met him as a pupil at St. Johns School in the 1940's.
One story he has just told me is that Bob tried to drill holes in the bottom of the large candles for church (to save money, of course) but they broke so David got the job. He was worried in case he also broke them. Thankfully he did not. A lot of the work was done at Owen Brothers across from church in the Old Schoolhouse building.
David was born on Turner Street but I am a Chadderton girl and that is where we lived when we got married.
We have only returned to the area to live in the last five years, but, of course, was in touch with Bob working across from St. Johns.
Carole"
