He had the biggest heart didn’t he! No matter what I did wrong in life he’d always fight my corner even when it was indefensible. I don’t think he ever got over what my mum did to him so life became very hard and I’d often get the brunt of how he was feeling but it was me and him looking after each other all the way to the end. I remember mum & ray took me to hospital when I was 13/14 and I wasn’t in a very good place so wouldn’t drink the charcoal. I ended up fighting ray, the security guards & a handful of police & it was getting nasty. Then I saw dad get out of a taxi and tell them to get off me and I was instantly calm. No one else has ever understood me like he did. I miss him terribly, he was my everything xxx

Yes his dad(my grandfather) was deputy head and head of history too I think! He passed away shortly before I was born so Charles gave me his dads middle name x

I don’t know if the people who have commented can see this but If they can could you all please get in touch? I’m Charles son and would love to speak to you all. My number is 07716537722. I found dad in the morning so have been struggling to live with that, think that’s part of the reason why I didn’t know this page didn’t exist till now x
