It is now 16 years since since my Dad passed away suddenly at the age of 68yrs.
Aubrey Ernest Hares
26-2-1930 - 18-6-1998
Here are some memories of him.
First as a child with his Dad.
As a dashing young man with his parents, Ernest Albert Hares and Laura Amelia Hares née Foyne.
When he came to stay with me so we could go the the Olympia model airplane show back in 1994. He's holding one of the "living room stick" planes which he made. They are fashioned in such a way that they fly in circles so can be flown indoors.
When I met up with him at a model airplane show in Middle Wallop, Easter 1996.
And lastly one of the final times I saw him, when he gave me away at my wedding in February 1998.
He died when I was 3 months pregnant with his first grandson.
Always fondly remembered Dad. I'll light a candle and play my harp just for you.

Your father was a very handsome man. I see where you get your good looks. Beautiful memories that should never, ever be forgotten and kept alive through photos and the written word. I bet he enjoyed your harp playing, too.
