Our thoughts are with my Papa, Peter Grassam a hardy, stout WW2 Veteran whom had a long hard fight with many illnesses over the past year. He served in the RAF throughout WW2, flying with 230 Sqn operating the massive flying boat, the Sunderland, tasked with locating and destroying enemy submarines. He had been shot down and spent a few days in a raft in the south china sea awaiting rescue and he remained serving with the RAF after the war for a few years where he transported prisoners charged with war crimes to their trials and reunited commonwealth POWs with their families.
His strong persevering personality coupled with his jolly Christmas time like spirit inspired the family.
Papa you will be missed by your loving family and we will continue to share your stories at family dinners.
Sean xoxo
