Letter: His passing will felt with sadness
He was respected and well-liked by all of his colleagues on the council, irrespective of party, and was very well known across the community where his passing will be felt with great sadness.
During his time as a councillor he represented Northowram and Shelf, Rastrick, and most recently Hipperholme and Lightcliffe. In each area he built up a great reputation of working for the community and putting local people first.
He will be greatly missed by many and my thoughts are with his wife Sue, and his family and friends at this incredibly sad time.”
