I am sorry you had to find out about Lofty's passing on a website. We had heard after Charlie Mercer's funeral that the RNA Thurrock had disbanded which left us saddened that he would not get a fitting send off after such an amazing life. We did not know he still had contact with ex members of the RNA Thurrock. Anyway, we researched Navy funerals and did our best. I'm sure Lofty would have been looking down laughing at our efforts, but we are just settled now knowing he has been laid to rest with his wife of whom he missed greatly.
Thank you for helping to keep Lofty's experiences accurate, we will never forget him or his amazing stories!
