A perfect gent if ever there was one
Your right Margaret a perfect Gent, we worked on a few historical projects together, sadly he died few months back. His sight deteriated in the last two years of his life, we met up quite a few times in the library, he was still researching, I used to read some of the documents for him, or make them bigger on the photocopier so he could read them himself. Jacks wife still lives in Rishton.
