Charles Macrae was born in Dunfermline on October 12, 1927. He was a lovely, gentle man, who had many lives; in the Navy exploring the Antarctic and Asia, working for Marconis as an electrical technician after that, an Edinburgh University graduate and sailor, and dedicated father.
Despite his own difficult childhood, he cared for his own younger brother and was a watchful grandad to Joe..giving them, and his own children the love and support he never had.
His daughter will always miss him. Thanks, best dad.
