Mr Walter Wallace who is 87
from Donnington, Shropshire
worked as a crane driver at

1963 until 1980.
He lives alone and has asthma, bronchitis and arthritis that affects his mobility.
Walter was in need of a riser/reclining chair, as due to his health problems he was having difficulty in getting up.
