Farewell Gordon Thorpe

Hi From BT MR Staff,

Colin Chatterton contacted us with the sad news of his brother-in-law's death.



Gordon passed away on Wednesday 22nd October after a very short illness.

Gordon joined BT in 1989 as 42-YEAR-OLD APPRENTICE.... and worked for BT for 20 years .... initially Exch-Maintenance in Turret then moved outside on one man installation and faults in the Greater Manchester area. He was always relating tales of his time in BT and frequently said it was the “BEST JOB HE EVER HAD”.

Colin.
