Amazing record of bravery and humility.
Rest well.

His first post-war job was as a prison warder at Barlinnie, but spent most of the rest of his working life in Aberdeen as a tile fixer, retiring in 1979.
Mr Storie lived a quiet life in the village of Muchalls outside Aberdeen, displaying no hint that he had once been one of the country’s most courageous master saboteurs.
