Thomas BRUNNER

When Alex and I first met Tom he had built a two seated green car. Think it was called a Morgan, I was about 9ish and Alex 10ish. We both got in the car with mum two seater car! They took us round to a friend of Toms forget his name, while Tom and mum were inside catching up, Alex and I just walked around the garden. Alex found an axe and started chopping the man’s trees down. Don’t think he wanted his trees chopped, but we left there in a hurry I bring the coward was terrified of what would be done to us. In view of the violence we grew up in with our previous father, but I remember Tom saying to his friends without trees, that he would bring Alex back when Alex got to 21 years old. And he laughed his head off he thought it was hilarious. That’s when I realised Tom wouldn’t hurt us he was the first person I wasn’t afraid of. That’s what I want people to remember him for he never judged us. There are thousands of instances like that where he showed us it was ok not everything was going to be a punishment.
How do I start day now after all these years of speaking to him a few times a day every day without asking Roger has he heard from Tom yet…….

Voici la folle machine à café de mon père :

Je n’ai eu la chance de le rencontrer qu’une seule fois, mais son sourire et sa chaleur qu’il dégageait m’ont profondément marquée. Même dans un court instant j’ai perçu une personne unique dont le souvenir restera gravé en moi.
J’adresse toute ma tendresse et mon soutien à sa famille.

Dear Grandpa,
I will never forget the memories of doing experiments with you. You were always up for it, even when things got a little crazy and that’s what made it so cool. You were also a true genius inventor with an incredible imagination. Nothing ever seemed impossible; whatever we could dream of, you could bring to life. I’ll always remember the Star Wars ship you built and that coffee maker, and of course your sense of humor you always had a joke ready for every moment, you were the kind of grandpa every child dreams of having and i feel lucky that you were mine.
Rest peacefully
