After working in various hospitals in the north of England he settled in Dewsbury with his family as a GP in 1973.

Dewsbury colleague Dr Hanume Thimmegowda said: “He worked at a single handed practice and was a very conscientious doctor who was popular amongst his colleagues and patients alike.

“He was very well established in medical politics locally and was a member of the local medical committee since the 1980s becoming chairman where he served until his death.

“Colleagues respected his stance and he was fair to everybody. He is greatly missed by his family, patients, friends and medical professionals locally.”
