Eulogy
Donald Stratford was born in 1934, as the youngest of 6. He
didn’t have a middle name because, according to Dad, his Mum had run out of
ideas by the time she got to him.
When baby Donny came along his dad, Albert, had been
suffering many years from his war injuries and his mum, Lydia, had been keeping
things together on the home front. Dad’s brother Albert was already 14, Tom was
12, Alf was 8, Pat was 6 and Lyd was 4.
