  Harry came to stay with us (my parents' house at Plympton Park) for a 2 week holiday in 1958. He never left! My parents always wondered why. Maybe a major fallout with his wife Astina Paulina Bishop aka Tina? We never knew.
  
  Then on one terrible Saturday morning in 1962 (I was 12 yo) I was home alone with Harry. He told me he had a bit of pain in his chest and was going to sit outside in the sun. I suggested a doctor (who always came to our house), and Harry said it wasn't bad enough to need a doctor. About half an hour later, Harry came back inside and was clearly having strong chest pains. I laid him down and phoned the doctor. I told the doctor I though Harry was having a bad heart attack. The doctor arrived within minutes, but he was dead. He died on February 17, 1962 at age 84 at Plympton Park, South Australia.
