He was my fathers uncle. Much loved by him. Great uncle Pat had a tame finch which perched on his finger. He, uncle Pat loved riding and used to take my father with him. My great aunt Mary was one of the three "beautiful Grundy sisters". I found them frightening, children being a nuicences. I believe they were brought up in India. Pat was always talked about with great fondness. Several photos of him remain in my fathers album (he died in 1996).
