There are many ways to remember a loved one.
For Robert Giltrap’s family, a clearing sale for a charity close to Robert’s heart was the most fitting tribute.
When it came time to decide which charity, daughter Jo remembered something her dad used to say.
“Whenever he made a payment to the rescue helicopter appeal, he would say, ‘You never know, it might be one of you who needs it one day.’”
Jo said her dad would have loved the clearing sale.
“Dad always said the things he collected would come in handy one day. It turns out they ended up supporting the rescue helicopters, so he was right all along.”
