 | | Remembering Denis Todd |
| | Rick Pennington discovered an announcement on Facebook.
No funeral details and I guess the formalities are over but I’m sure a lot of people knew him and would like to know.
I first met Denis when I was an apprentice. I was put with him, he was on exchange construction and doing a mod on the TXE4 on the second floor in Irwell House. At some point he was moved onto transmission construction which I was already part of. The modernisations program had started and became part of a team with Colin Greenwood, Ian Roberts and Sid Gibbs and I think Gary Styles as well. They put most of the PDH in the central Manchester area, with the help of others. I think he remained on transmission construction until he retired. I can’t be certain as our paths parted at this point. He didn’t get married as far I know but he did have a daughter that he loved and did his best to be full father to her.
Regards
Richard
From Facebook:
To all Denis's friends who don't already know, I have to bring sad news Denis passed away suddenly on 9th March.
I know that all his many friends will miss him. Carry him in your hearts and remember him from time to time, with a smile.
If the measure of a man is the number of his friends, Denis was a millionaire. |

Very sad news. RiP Denis. Any idea how old he was? Think he lived in Didsbury. |
