Page 39 – In Memoriam
In fond and loving memory of our dear Father, William Martin, who died suddenly June 30, 1965.
He left us quickly his thoughts unknown,
But left us a memory we are proud to own;
So treasure him Lord, in your garden of rest,
For when on earth he was one of the best.
With all our hearts we wish today,
We were all together in the same old way.
Ever remembered by his five sons – George, Sam, Bill, Eric and Neil; also two daughters Winnie and Prissie and families.
