Uncle Gordon, and Auntie Liz, were always very kind to us and would help us out at the drop of a hat. Growing up, I remember Uncle Gordon as a friendly and fun uncle (like all the Pittards) and I got to spend more time with him when we worked together in the shop at Hythe. Both he and Auntie LIz were always welcoming to us and we spent many enjoyable hours in their company at Walsall during our time at uni. Later, we enjoyed visiting their new house in Alcester and seeing the renovations progress. When we emigrated, we passed lots of plants, and a pair of steel toe-capped wellingtons, to Uncle Gordon as we knew they would be loved and tended. We were able to catch up with him and Auntie Liz when we made trips back to England, if not in person, then by phone. He showed the same kindness to my daughter when she was visiting the UK in 2019, giving her plenty to laugh about when telling old stories of Pittard (mis)adventures. We will miss Uncle Gordon very much. Vicky, Chris, Jess & Ellie xxxx
