Laurence H. Stover
Father, Grandfather and my Father-in-law. Laurence Hamilton Stover,
we will miss you and your ways. RIP Grandpa
Happy Father’s Day to both incredible men in my life, my father and my husband but today we will honor my father-in-law, Laurence Stover as we proceed with his interment.
As a soldier in the Canadian forces during the Second World War some of his medals below will be in the good hands of his grandson Julian Benson currently with the The Royal Regiment of Canada a reserve of the Canadian Army (hope I got that right Julian) therefor I photographed and found some links for the other grandchildren to reference as there are very few survivors now and WW2 will soon be complete history.
Laurence was pretty serious man, most of the time, but I can picture him, right now, chuckling too hard to finish one of his many stories – I think that is how I would like to remember him. RIP Laurence. xxxooo
