William James's Story

My memory of my grandfather when he came to stay with my parents and I in North Wales was of a lovely quiet man who loved to read. He would go for long walks with me as a child and I would be chattering nineteen to the dozen and he would listen. He was A a quiet and hardworking man who was dedicated to his family.
