Michael Hugh Ingram

Michael's story

Michael was born on 15th November in 1937. He was the smallest twin, my Mum was the biggest twin but both were tiny babies and not expected to live very long and so were baptised at home in a pudding basin ! Despite everything Michael and Sheila survived and thrived. They had a wonderful childhood, being brought up and nurtured on a farm in fresh air and with a plentiful supply of freshly caught food. Many summer holidays were spent in Cornwall with their Mums sister Ada and cousin John Mick. Michael always loved the West Country. He was a clever child, always in the top set at school with his twin sister but would rather go off to the farm sales with his Dad rather than do "book learning" as he called it. Michael loved cars and machinery. Over the years he had many classics and he was always saying "I wish I'd have kept that car or this car" He would have needed a massive warehouse to store them all in. Kind and generous and full of fun, Michael was always ready with a story to make you laugh. We as a family are donating to the Air ambulance in memory of Michael, it was his wish for donations to that great service which have saved so many lives. Rest in Peace Michael
