Grandad is deeply missed by his loving family.

It’s nice to read your tribute, Thankyou for sharing this! I love hearing stories about grandad and grandma in their prime, enjoying their life together. My dad (Stephen) also remembers the polish stall and how it was a social gathering / shopping trip.

Our families love for Hungary continues, I even got married in Budapest in 2018, I had never seen my grandad smile so much. Happy times.

Joe and my late father met when they left Hungary in 1956 and they remained acquaintances. I remember bumping into Joe and the late Doreen when I went into Blackburn town centre on Saturday with my dad as a boy. Quite often they'd chat at the Polish stall in the market. I would have liked to have talked to Joe after my dad passed, but I no longer live in the area. I will remember Joe as warm and friendly, he always had time for us, and especially his sheepskin coat! God bless to Joe's friends and family.
