He was on his way to Richard Alan Engineering in Shaw Cross where he worked as a welder – a profession he excelled in from an early age, following in his father David’s footsteps.

David Haigh, of Salendine Nook, Huddersfield, said: “He was a good man. He gave people his time.

“He would go anywhere for anybody and sort problems out, and he was never selfish with his time. He was wonderful.”
