I'm adding here a drawing by my Dad, based on a photo I don't have, and which he drew some time ago now. It can be seen in my mum's study in Bonnebosq:
Some extra info can be found here (anecdotes) and here (his singing and fooling); here you'll find a reference to his education, here, to his work, and here to some personal belongings. There are also the three posts on his trip to Israel, starting here.
