Maurice 'Doc' Pascoe


R.I.P. 
1922 - 2014

It was an honour to know him. He was always quick with a joke,
and was one of the great story tellers.
I see my wife in his eyes in this picture. 
We will miss her grandpa.

Legend has it that he earned his nickname 'doc' after
accidentally slicing the porcelain head off a sawdust filled
doll during a church pantomime when he was about 7. 
Sawdust spilled out, hilarity ensued and a nickname
was coined that he would happily wear for the rest of his life.
