I just had a call from Denis O'Shea, he told me that his wife passed away on Saturday night.
She was suffering from Alzheimers for a long time and Denis has been doing his best to look after her 24/7 so that is reason he has not been in site for some.

Hi Tony, my condolences to Denis, sorry to hear of his wife's passing, he thought the world of her, I believe her namame was Gwen, may she rest in peace.
I remember Denis was in the sgnals and stationed by the Suez, he said watching the ships passing through the canal made him join the MN and he became a radio officer.
Wish you all the best Den, grief is the hardest of all the emotions.

Dennis, I have seen what that awful thing can do to people.
Good friend of ours went with it last year.
I can understand what you have been through over the time.
My sincere condolences to you and yours.


Happy daze John in Oz.
