I think he had a raw deal there. RI P Robert. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

hauxwell   233 #5 Posted July 15, 2019 I’m sure he was married to Mary Jackson who I use to know, she was a keen bowler to. I don’t know if she is still alive. She did voluntarily work for the Abbeyfield Care Home.  RIP  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
