He was an interesting man - crippled in both legs from the age 1 but lived until he was 101. He started a baptist chapel in Chelsea & was still at the pulpit aged 95.

Hail to the gent for not letting his disability affected him and lived life to the full and a hard worker by the sound of it too. Thanks for sharing his story. :)
