Obituary: Tony Gardner

摘要

Family, friends and colleagues gathered to celebrate the life of Lichfield and Hatherton Canals Restoration Trust volunteer Tony Gardner. Tony, who died last month at the age of 75, joined the Trust in 2005 after the death of his beloved wife Jackie, but in that short time became a key member of the volunteer team and a friend to everyone who met him. Best remembered as an expert driver of diggers and dumpers, Tony's favourite place to take a break was next to the ramp on the Tamworth Road section of the canal, and appropriately it was here that the Trust held a celebration of his life and planted an oak tree in his memory.
