you might think me very strange but...

hi all

my name is Daisy, my father was in the merchant navy from 57-60ish, on the fyffe banana ships, sailing from plymouth and a few other ports, looking to find anyone that knew him i guess

Dad unfortunatly passed away 10th Jan 2001 but always had such fond memories from the Navy (and some sad memories as he lost a friend on the ships i think thats why he left the navy?)

i have his seamans cards etc here and will post piccys up to help with the search if needed...

His name...David Anthony Rowe, DOB 16-2-40

thanks for reading xxxx
