He excelled in his marathon running, having completed 20 Comrades Marathons. He built many houses in Westville where we lived as a family, culminating in a very beautiful home at 12 Kings Avenue. His most outstanding talent lay in his love of woodwork. He was a master craftsman and produced many beautiful pieces of furniture, many of which are lovingly kept (and used) in our homes today. Us 3 daughters, Lesley, Barbara and myself, each have a grandfather clock crafted by our Dad which have pride of place in our homes.Unfortunately, as fit and healthy as he was, he succummed to pancreatic cancer at the age of 87 and passed away a year later. His ashes are buried in the Cathkin Valley in the Drakensburg.Carolyn Trezona.
