My Dad died today

RIP John Francis Ellis 1930 – 2023. The picture above is of him with his mother and siblings in the late 1990s. All his brothers and sisters lived into their nineties, and he was the last to go at 93.

He died in hospital today. He had a long and full life, and was a good and kind man – albeit not always easy to live with.

I will miss him and I think my Mum will be very lonely without him after 60 years together.
