RE: MR BOB EVANS RETIRED MEMBER AND FORMER BRANCH SECRETARY 

It is with great sadness that I write to inform you that Bob Evans, CWU Retired member and trade union officer and activist for over 50 years, passed away peacefully on the 8th August 2015 at the Luton and Dunstable Hospital.

 

Bob served the union as branch secretary of the Luton Post Office Engineering Union (POEU) Branch. Through various mergers in the region he continued to be branch secretary for the Luton and North Herts Branch and the Beds Herts and Bucks Branch. Over the years Bob also held various District and regional positions. He was a retired member of the Central Counties & Thames Valley Branch.  

 

His dedication and commitment to the union was recognised by the CWU on his retirement when he was awarded the union’s Gold Badge.

 

Bob was a very well respected Branch officer and was also held in very high regard nationally. He will be sadly missed by all his friends and colleagues in the union.

 

At this sad time our thoughts are of course with Bob’s family and friends and to those we convey our deepest sympathies.

 

The funeral will take place on Wednesday 2nd September 2015 at 3.15pm in the Vale Cemetery & Crematorium, Butterfield Road, Luton, LU2 8DD. Refreshments will be available afterwards at Hilton Garden Inn, Butterfield Business Park, Hitchin Road, Luton, LU2 8DL.

 

If you have any enquiries on this LTB, these should be addressed to the General Secretary’s Office at gsoffice@cwu.org quoting the reference GS1.1/LTB 527/15.

 

 

Yours sincerely
