Sign in to add a tributeJim and Jennifer Palmer from Canada here. We met you, your dad and mom when we visited England in 1985. Tom was first cousin to my Mom, Isabell, and they were in regular contact until my mom died in 2010. We remember with great fondness our time with your family, and recall your dad getting out his famous ukulele to play for us. One of our sons, Sam, is an accomplished Ukulele player, and was very interested in the story. We are so sorry for your loss, but are happy he enjoyed such a long and busy life with you.
We are still in regular touch with Norman and Mildred, and would love to get back in touch with you, as well. Perhaps our children will carry on the long correspondence we have enjoyed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, and your family.
Jim, Jennifer, Julia, Nathaniel, Sam, and Clare Palmer
