  • .... is the Patriarch, the elder, the wise man, the protector ....

  • .... rarely loses his cool, except with Tim from time to time - and who wouldn't?

  • .... is always there with a shoulder to cry on, a reassuring word, a wise piece of advice

  • .... loves the family, traditions, loyalty, respect

  • .... is wary of "new-fangled gimmicks" such as some aspects of the internet

  • .... works hard to provide food for people

  • .... respects the environment and the people he works with

  • .... is basically a role-model, especially for a grandfather

... and he is beautifully played by Shaun Johnston, the role of a lifetime and one that he was made for.
