A Morecambe pensioner aged 91 has written his second book hoping to achieve a goal of raising money for Lancaster's hospice.
Tony Kadelbach has brought out 'That Strikes A Chord' - his reflections on a lifetime of music - to raise funds for St John's Hospice.
Tony has released his second book shortly after his first - 'One More Step Along the Road' which was dedicated to his late wife Iris.
The couple were married for 61 years before Iris died in 2019.
The first book is a story of their life together, centred around diaries of some of their holidays overseas.
'One More Step Along the Road' raised more than £1,000 for Cancer Research UK and Alzheimer's Society.
A reprint of the first book, as well as the second, is now raising funds for the hospice.
So far Tony has raised more than £600.

Tony said: “When I wrote my first book ‘One More Step Along The Road’ in the year 2020 at the age of 89 years, it was by way of a therapy for the loss of my wife Iris who had died the previous year through a combination of cancer and dementia.
"It also served to occupy my time when I was self isolating, due to a life threatening illness during that year."
The books can be purchased at the St John's Hospice reception on Slyne Road in Lancaster and their charity shops in the area - in Morecambe town centre, on Princes Crescent in Bare and in Lancaster.
A hospice spokesperson said Tony is "a wonderful supporter of ours" and "let's help Tony reach his dream of raising £1,000".
