On May 22nd 2022 our dear dad, Grandad, Great grandad Oscar Farmer, passed away peacefully at the great age of 93. He led a happy and fulfilling life but is now happier to be united with his wife of 70 years, Gwen. Sue had the great honor of spending time with him in his last few weeks.

Our thanks to Creston Village where he resided
