You're welcome. Davie died due to complications from having his leg amputated, I think this was because he was diabetic. It was a sad time for my grandmother as her mother died the year before and then her daughter died the following year.
When my grandmother died, I inherited all her photo albums which I am in the process of scanning. There are many photos of Davie, but I also came across a family album that was owned by Davie that might be of interest to you. Most of the photos are unlabelled so I have no idea who most of the people are, but when I come to scanning them in I could send them to you if you're interested in seeing them.

Thank you so much for the information on Davie. Davie was my husband's half brother. He was aware that Davie had died but didn't know any of the circumstances. My husband passed away 2 years ago but i appreciate having a bit more of the story.

His son, Davie Gene Chism, was the partner of my grandmother for 20 years. He moved to England to be with her in 1981, and he worked on an American Air Force Base. Davie died in 2003. I remember him as being a very quiet, softly spoken man who would sit in his chair and watch horse racing. My grandmother was presented with an American Flag at his funeral by the US Air Force. My grandmother died earlier this year and my uncle now owns the flag.
