Dear Brixham News

It is approaching a very sad time as 12th March is the anniversary of the death of Charles Blackmore. Charles, a Brixham lad spent much of his life as the caretaker of Furzeham Primary School. I first met Charles when my then future husband took me down to Brixham because his uncle Charles had been taken ill. I took to Charles right away and over the next 20 years it was a great pleasure to get to know him. As a great uncle to my sons Andrew and David you could ask for no one better. Charles loved his home town of Brixham and the place seems somewhat emptier without him. As caretaker of the primary school he saw generations of children and their children grow up and have children of their own.  His home looking over the green I believe has now been changed that home was his for so many happy years. Although he is gone he is not forgotten.
