Add my storyBiography
Being a landscape gardner my father always kept his lawns and gardens immaculate. After returning from the war in France he married my mother Nellie Hichson and they raised a family of three boys and one girl. During the second world war he served in the Naval Police Force patrolling the waterfront around Sydney Harbour, also an Air Raid Warden around the Dee Why area where we lived. He kept bee hives and also had a small poultry farm. Both he and mum became members of the Dee Why Baptist Church and he remained very active up to his death.
