My Dad, John Taylor, who has died aged 90, was a quietly devoted family man and a loyal husband.
Born in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, to Amelia (nee Benson) and Fred Taylor, John lived in the mining town of Hemsworth until the age of eight. His father, sick of working down the pit, then relocated the family to Southport, Lancashire (now part of Merseyside), where Fred worked at the fairground and later as a builder. When the second world war began, Fred enlisted, and the family took in evacuees and later Jewish refugees.
