I do recall him being very religious. Strangely I never knew his surname. He was always Gordon.

Looks like he may still have been working aged 76 as the vehicle appears to have been a commercial.

Yes he was...There was a article in the Echo about 18 months ago about the problem he was having getting bottled gas from his usual local supplier something about the volume that had to be ordered iirc..
Reading the article that Isca posted it appeared he got over that hurdle by finding a supplier near Hull.

He was a real character and a real fixture for many years. Before moving to the lower end of Blackboy Road, his shop was at the upper end on the corner of Posloe Road. The shop was a great "delve" when you were after imperial. fixings etc. RIP

That’s a shocker...I have not seen any Harry Potter films but she was fantastic as Aunt Polly in Peaky Blinders.

She played Mrs Malfoy. One of quite a number of the Harry Potter cast that has passed on.
