Grandfather : Gordon Charles Tombs

I was fortunate enough to see my grandfather while I was home. He passed away on the 14th of jan. It was such a special time together with all the extended family over the time of the funeral. Grandfather was an incredibly special man and has had a huge influence on us all.
