Death:
11 Apr 1985 (age 87)
Cause: Bronchopneumonia and Whipples Disease
Address: Semington, Wiltshire
William (Will) had suffered from Whipple's Disease for many years and it was well controlled. It is therefore surprising that it is mentioned as a contributory cause of death. He had been taken into St Martin's Hospital in Bath a few weeks previously suffering from pneumonia and from there was moved to St George's Hospital. Apart from deafness for which he needed a hearing aid he was in full possession of his faculties before entering hospital but whilst in hospital he became very confused. His stepson Jack who was very close to him visited him regularly and it became evident a few days before his death that he had 'given up'. The day before he died he would not talk and just sat and smiled at Jack occasionally shaking his head. He was in the day room which was full of old people sitting in chairs ranged round the room. Most appeared to be completely withdrawn. In the centre was a TV set blaring away with no one watching. It was an awful environment. Jack was informed of his death on the morning of the 11 April and had to break the news to his mother (Will's wife). She didn't seem surprised and simply said, "Earth is the poorer and heaven the richer for his passing." It was so heartfelt and moving that Jack had the words inscribed on his headstone.
Death Registration:

Jack had been informed of his death on the morning of the 11 April.
Burial:
c. 25 Apr 1985
St Mary's Churchyard
Address: Limpley Stoke, Wiltshire
William's stepson Jack who always thought of him as his father arranged with the Funeral Director for William to be dressed in his sports jacket with one of his shirts and a tie that he would have normally worn and for his glasses to be put on the end of his nose. He looked just as if he had fallen asleep in his armchair. Jack took his mother Alice to see her husband and make her final farewells at the undertaker's Chapel of Rest. The Chapel was dimly lit, and although the coffin was open a veil had been draped over it. Alice whose eyesight was very poor bent over to kiss her husband and encountered the veil which distressed her greatly. The undertaker removed the veil which allowed Alice to kiss her husband on the forehead saying as she did, “Oh Will, you're so cold.”
There were few mourners at the funeral service; as far as Jack can recollect it was just him, his wife Heather, his former wide Joan, Jack's son Richard and his wife Ruth, Jack's daughter Alison and a few of the staff from Waterhouse where William and Alice had lived for the last few years. When the coffin had been placed in the aisle (the church was so small it couldn't be taken up to the Chancel) Mum stepped out of her pew, held onto the coffin and kept saying, “Oh Will, Oh Will, …” and it was with some difficulty that Jack persuaded her to return to her seat. After the service Alison was rather scathing about her grandmother's conduct but Jack thinks it was genuine expression of her overwhelming grief. The service was taken by a Reader and Jack gave an address on the life of his (step)father. There is no record of the address Jack and can't remember any of the details but William had been a good husband, a great schoolmaster and a wonderful father to Jack, but he is certain that he owed his career to his (step)father's influence, and Jack probably touched on all these matters. After Jack's address the Reader said he had obviously been a fine man but Heather was absolutely furious and after the burial was over castigated Jack for saying what he did about his step father.

Death:

Cause: enemy action
Address: Arcita, Chaucer Avenue
She was killed when a German aircraft which had been shot down fell on their bungalow around lunhtime. It also destroyed the next door semi-detached bungalow Suncot killing its occupant Edward Leonard Vincent. The 17th February was a Saturday and on Saturdays it was Florence's normal practice to go shopping in, have lunch and go to the library but on that particular day she had returned early to prepare for a friend who was coming to lunch. Had she not so she would not have been killed. At the time her husband William who was a schoolmaster was in Tonbridge where he was the billeting officer for Westminster City School which had been evacuated from London to Tonbridge at the start of the war. As well as the bungalow in Rustington they had a house in Harrow on the outskirts of London and Flo had moved to Rustington because they thought she would be safer. The Harrow house survived the war.
Burial:
23 Feb 1945
Pinner New Cemetery21
Address: Pinner Road, Harrow, Middlesex
It is certain that her husband Will was there but who else is not known

Of these the second is the more likely because:-
•I never heard my father who sometimes talked to about his first marriage mention Portsmouth
•I remember being taken with him when he visited his mother-in-law somewhere in north London where I also met Flo's sister who was unmarried and lived with her mother and the sister's steadfast admirer who I believe was a solicitor called Pinder. Either just before or just after his marriage to my mother he also took her. She was quite upset as I think she felt that she was being 'vetted' and I believe it showed a degree of insensitivity on his part. As far as I can recall we never made another visit and I have no idea whether he maintained any form of contact.
