Some bad news on the home front - my dear wife (for over 55 years) Catherine, passed away earlier this week.
She had been in and out of hospital and nursing homes last year. Her funeral was held today.
May she rest in peace. (I'll post obituary when available)
Liam you have our prayers and sympathy.
A Checker Friend, JR Smith
