Henry T Hilda W Rozee

My Grand Parents Henry & Hilda Rozee and their Daughters Joan and Doreen

Henry known as Harry Thomas Rozee
4/4/1904 - 27/2/1962
My Grampy Rozee was a great man, he was born in the East End of London, his family were originally silk weavers from France, who came to live in England.

My Gramp was a Happy Man who always wore a flat cap and had a roll up stuck behind his ear, and often times they were still alight at that, he loved animals and children, however he wasnt opposed to putting my Mums or her brothers pets on the dinner table if there was nothing else for them to eat.

He and my Granny Rozee moved to Swindon after the 2nd world war ended and my Grampy took a job in the railways in the foundry, I can still see him in my mind walking along the backsies at dinner time with his flat cap roll up and the paper under his arm, he was a great Man and respected by all who knew him, he used to race pigeons as a hobby and I still have one of the cups he won back in 1956, which I treasure.

My Gramp sent me off to bed one Sunday night saying "go on off you go up the wooden hill" the last memory I have is of him standing by the fire place saying good night.

When I woke up the next morning my Grampy was in the Hospital he had been rushed in during the night, he never came home again he died that day. I was 9 years old at the time.

However I still remember my Grampy Rozee, and what a gentle kind and loving Man he was, he was truly one of the best.

Hilda Winifred Rozee nee Clarke 20/4/1910 - 5/10/1980
My Granny Rozee was a tiny woman 4ft 10inches tall but boy she was packed full of dynamite, she would grab me by my ear and march me home if she ever caught me out some place where I shouldnt have been,which she did often,too often.

I used to think she was so mean when I was a child, however as I grew up and matured into a woman my Granny and I became really close and good friends, she always told me she had to reach her 3 score years and ten, ( 70 ) which she did the April of the year she died.

Its true what they say you dont know how much a person really means to you until theyre no longer here,I discovered this fact when I lost my Granny.

I often think of my Granny and wish she were still here,its only now that I realise just how vital a role she had played in my life and I miss her dreadfully, even though shes been gone for some 30 years now.

Rest In Peace Granny and Grampy Rozee,
together again for eternity now.
