MY GRANDFATHER

This man was my best friend and grandfather, He was born in 20.10.1924 and Died 17.06.1998.. Unfortunately I have no photos or his medals as others took them when he died.. As far as we know he only had 2 blood Grandchildren and 4 children unfortunately I am unable to find all of them but my mother
He was a huge part of my life and I was very proud of him and will always miss him
