Thanks for coming.

Sunday 9th July 2006 saw the end of an era for me. My beloved grandfather, Otway Leonard Rankin passed away 2 months short of his 100th birthday. The last time I saw him he’d had a bit of a fall in the morning. My Nanna asked him where he’d fallen. Immediately he fired back “Down!, Where else am I going to go?” then proceeded to chuckle at his own joke.

Even more disconcerting than seeing the traits you have passed on to your children is seeing where they come from.

Rest in Peace, Pop
