]]>A lot of you will know Bob as the Branch Chairman for many years but also as a GMB representative who fought tirelessly all his working life and in retirement too for his work colleagues. Never giving in he fought and won many cases even up to just days before he was taken ill.
Bob will be remembered as a stalwart of the GMB who was a dedicated life long Union man.
Stand down brother, Rest in Peace
Pictures are of his other passion May Day and the GMB Banner
Our condolences and thoughts are with his family on such a sad occasion,

]]>Paddy was a Union man all his working life and even in retirement carried on as a Representative for the GMB fighting many cases for his union colleagues. Everyone who knew him will remember his happy carefree attitude, always a laugh and joke no matter where he was, but when it came down to the business of looking after his fellow men no one was more serious.
He was also a dedicated attendee of the May Day Parade and when we had a new banner he was there to carry it, sorry this time Paddy but you was there in our memories and the Black tassels on our banner this year was for you.
Paddy will be sorely missed by all, but I know we will have many fond memories of him,
Rest in Peace Patrick Harvey aka Paddy
Paddy’s funeral will be held on the 17th of May 2021 at 11:50 this will be webcast due to Covid-19 restrictions at the crematorium
