    Story

    Wirral Globe article (if link doesn't work copy and paste) http://m.wirralglobe.co.uk/news/14707615.Wirral_boat_repairer_devastated_after_workshop_is_burned_to_the_ground/?ref=fbshr

    We have been unindated with requests to set up a Just Giving page to help Dad replace some of his joinery / boat building equipment after the mindless arson attack on Wednesday 24th August. (Original Facebook last paragraph).

    This is a man who served the RNLI for 40 years saving over 90 souls. A man who in his retirement kept working and is exceptionally skilled in joinery and boat building which is rare these days. The boat yard contained the tools and equipment for him to do his life's passion which people have burnt down for their own amusement.

    "So tonight some thoughtless imbeciles decided for fun to burn my dads boat shed down. Over 40 years of memories, work and tools all gone in a senseless act. Simply things like an engine hoist received as a retirement gift from hoylake RNLI for a lifetime of service, and as my dad stood with tears in his eyes all he could think of was the poor baby swallows. It's not about possessions, this was dads life. Someone knows whose done this please can everyone help 😰😰"

      5. I now have an even stronger belief in the strength that kind words give comfort when things are tough, something that will stay with me for the rest of my life. The police are currently investigating, but I would continue to urge that if anyone does know anything to please come forward and do the right thing. Sorry it's 5 posts, it wouldn't allow me to fit in one post.

      4. When we first heard the news that the boat building shed was on fire, we felt sick and our thoughts of the people that had done this, well they are not repeatable.... But we have been truly overwhelmed by the kindness from the local community, friends, strangers from around the country and further a field including Canada and France. It restored our faith in human kindness pretty quickly.

      3.I was lucky enough to go sailing with him. I sat opposite to him and for the first time in weeks he looked content and relaxed. He has been so strong throughout this time, mainly because he hides his feelings as he doesn't want to worry his family but I've seen the hurt in his eyes over the last few weeks so I was pleased to see him in his element on a wooden boat he had made by hand, and luckily wasn't in the shed at the time of the arson attack.
