In loving memory of Walter John Edward Whitehead who sadly passed away on 24th May 2019.
Always known as BOB, our Dad was the light of our lives he was generous and kind and always there when we needed him. He grew up in Battersea and had very little education during the war years but was so well read and very clever always fixing things, specially motor bikes and cars after having served in the army in the service corp in Italy, Egypt and the Holy Land. Having married our Mum Ida they went on to have myself and my brother and then five grandchildren and five great grandchildren. Dad loved going to Malta with Mum after he retired from his job as a bank messenger and he knew London better than any cab driver and was always proud to be ENGLISH. He was no saint and could be difficult at times and dementia sadly took away a lot of his memory but he had a full and varied life and always had lots of many stories to tell and a very black sense of humour which not everyone understood. We will miss him so much but he has a special place in our hearts.
