Dear Sir,
I would like to inform local residents that I am retiring as I will be 82 very shortly and getting a little tired from time to time. I will still be available for the odd wedding or christening.
I will miss doing what I have done and all the lovely people and after the last seven months which has been very satisfying, receiving two certificates and two medals (one of them being the highest that the Durham County Council award). I have also been given a guest ticket to the Ayclive Music Festival from Great Aycliffe Town Council.
What a fantastic life I have had from start to finish and wouldn’t change any of it. I have been a very lucky man, I have never wanted for anything and always tried to help people and, after 82 years, I have proven that you should work hard and treat people as you want to be treated. After 23 years helping people and local charities, I only hope I can still be able to visit some of those that I have helped. All I can say now is thank you all, over and over, for the support you have given me.
