MR COLIN CAFFERY – BRANCH SECRETARY NORTH WALES AND THE MARCHES  

MR COLIN CAFFERY – BRANCH SECRETARY NORTH WALES AND THE MARCHES  
We were advised during July that our dear colleague, Colin Caffery, Branch Secretary of the CWU North Wales and the Marches branch had sadly passed away following a short illness. Colin died peacefully in hospital with his family around him.
Unfortunately, whilst branches in the region and members of the divisional committee were informed of this and the funeral details, we at headquarters omitted to send out an LTB to advise branches of this information and the details of the funeral. I apologise for this error and any upset this has caused Colin’s family or the branch.
Colin was branch secretary of the North Wales & the Marches Branch for over 15 years and prior to this was a CWU Representative at Rhyl Royal Mail Delivery Office. He has served his branch at CWU conferences and always attended and played an important role at the Wales and the Marches Regional Committee.
Colin was well respected by his members and those other branch officers, regional and national officers with whom he worked closely. I know that he was immensely committed to the union and his members. I have been advised that there were many people at the funeral on 20th July and this is clear testament to the esteem in which Colin was held by everyone who knew him. He will be sadly missed by all his colleagues and friends in the union. 
On behalf of the CWU I have passed on our deepest sympathies to Colin’s wife Laurel and his close family and friends. 
Yours sincerely 
 
Dave Ward

General Secretary
