Pop was born on the 5th of October 1932, 43 days after the BBCs first TV broadcast, he had _ siblings, his parents were _ and _

Born in _ on a cool 9°C day but windy and raining heavily

Everyone loved Pop, and rightly so, Pop would always love to go to Fisons(BoNess Chemical Workers Club)

Pop was married to Nana(Anna) until Nana sadly passed away from cancer.

Life as a miner

He survived all this and enventually at retirement he trained a new generation of miners

Children
Pop had 4 children in the span of his life, Carol, Evon, and... (note to self, remeber to add the name)

Carol took care of Pop for the majority of things, making sure he was in the best health he could be and making sure he was okay.

When Carol worked at a job prior to retirement she soldered circutry on millitary boats, she was one of the best at her job, if not then the best

Grand Children

priorer to Carol Lindsays relationship to Scott Lindsay she had 2 children, Charlenne and Andrew.

Andrew had served a tour in Afghanistan doing such jobs as a sniper and working in a tank, even once talking to Charles III, the king of the UK as of writing this

His life as a elder
Pop had a heart attack which momentarily stoped him and put him in hospital, but he was soon out of the hospital, some tasks he used to do was harder and he needed to have carers, he also had partial blindness from cataracts, but this didnt stop him from trying to get out to Fisions and living the last years the best he could.

The end of his life
He lived a full and enjoyable life with family always nearby, he was able to spend his last moments on this earth with his beloved daughter, Carol.

He passed away on the 5th of September 2022, in his 90th year of life, Pop will forever be loved in our family.
