Grandfather who sacrificed his life for his grandsons

A 60-year old grandfather from Carluke drowned in difficult waters after saving his grandsons.

Incident happened on the Gouves beach on the north coast of Crete.

His daughter (mother of the sons) said from sons story what happened.:”They simply went off for a swim and the two young boys, aged seven and 10, ran into some choppy waters,” she said.”The grandfather got very upset and unnerved and he went in, tried to save them. He managed to pull them out of these choppy waters… but in his bid to actually reach these rocks along the beach, he simply got exhausted and it was impossible for him to get out.”Ms Carassava said that locals, including two waiters, had also jumped into the water to help Mr Smith and his grandsons.
