Condolences for the family of “Jean Elizabeth Dick (nee McCrea)”
I was married and came to Bolton in 1947. That was the year Bolton welcomed three sets of twins which included Carole and Beverly. I remember Jean and Steve over the years as important cogs in the community and extend sympathy to the family who will, I am sure, be giving thanks for lives well lived to look back on.
