ASTILL, William Gilbert OAM
As I said at your 90th Birthday, I have admiration for your humility and your resilience. Perhaps some of that came with age, but much of it came with character. I’m very proud of my grandfather. Rest peacefully Papa, your favourite/only grand-daughter sends a dozen yo-yo biscuits and a quality double-scotch with you on your way.
Much love, Roxanne.
