My Brother (part 2)

We managed to find out that Tony had gone to a Catholic Church, who made enquiries and then sent him to Our Lady of the Wayside Church and Father O'Mahoney redirected him to Ena's. So she took him in and he stayed until everything was sorted and he had his discharge papers come through (he had gone AWOL so had to face the consequances). He found out that Pat had returned to her home in Bootle and was staying at her mother's with all the children. he stood as Godfather to Myra and it was just great having him around. Ena and Ron may not have agreed, although he was Ena's brother even she could not stomach the smell of his feet! Eventually Pat's mother wrote to him asking that he come and collect the children as they were being so neglected. How or when this happened I do not remember but I do know that it took Mom and Ena several weeks to get the girls clean from the head lice etc. (Tony could only get the girls, Pat would not let him bring Anthony with him). So Ena found schools for the girls and they all lived in her house, Veronica has many a tale about this time! Tony found a job as a Supermarket Manager at the Maypole and so he moved into a house over that way. Eventually he progressed to another supermarket and we lost contact with him yet again. Although I asked Ena for his address when Dad died, she maintained that she did not have it, (Ena knew that Dad had said he didn't want Tony there).
After Mom had her fall and was taken into hospital, Ena contacted Tony and they visited Mom every day at the hospital. When I arrived afterwards I was shocked to see my brother, he was totally white haired and wheezed like a good one!!! He sounded just like my father and when I closed my eyes the only thing missing was the Geordie accent. It hurt!
After the funeral he left and I never saw him again. He died in Telford, where I believe two of his girls still live (Patricia and Dawn).
