Although my grandfather Peter Sallis and my grandmother Elaine got divorced in 1965, they continued to live together until 1999. My grandmother did not leave him in 1983 as your obituary said, and they remained close until her death in 2014. Whatever my grandfather may once have told a newspaper about “distance” in relationships, the one that he had with his son, Crispian, my father, could not have been stronger. They were in constant contact and did a great deal for each other.
