You are on the right board Rena it's just that the restorers may not pick up the photos from this post if they have already read it, so you may be better off start a new topic with your requests...but don't worry about. He was a bit of a looker wasn't he  ;D
Carol

Okay Carol, I've started a new topic and moved the first photo (with a different nomenclature) but it's not showing yet so I'll have to wait until the thread appears before I move the second photo.

Carol I was too busy looking into his eyes to notice anything else except he had a sense of humour and very considerate and kind.  ;D     He was 61 when he died in 1999; the hospital notes said "exhaustion" and as he was a workaholic it fitted.

Here's the other B&W photo taken in April 1958.  He worked on the land so he wasn't pasty faced as suggested by the photo. 

I'd appreciate one of the photos coloured. 

(This is where I bow, doff my cap, scrape the floor, kiss your boots and back out of the room gracefully)

Here are some colored ones, looking quite dapper. Note, I'm not truly satisfied with his mouth. As a male this would be the equivalent of me putting on lip-stick, so you could understand my struggle. Colors can be changed easily if they are too inaccurate or you are certain of another color, or just want to see him in a hot pink suit. :)

Excellent photograph! A quick trial to see what a little anisotropic smoothing will add to the result.
