Ken Rashleigh RIP.
Part-time fisherman, full time Chemistry teacher for many years at Mounts Bay school and all round lovely guy Ken Rashleigh passed away recently - but can you identify the well known Newlyn face alongside the man - taken in 1982 aboard Ken's tosher, Galilee which he co-owned with John and Frances MacWilliams.
This is my Dad and yes he was a great guy who will be greatly missed. The little lad in the picture is my cousin Nathan DeRozarieux who was about 9 years old at the time and was absolutely smitten with fishing and being with his Uncle Ken, they were inseparable. Thank you Laurence for your lovely comments. RIP Dad, love Naomi x
