Death of a comrade
This morning Dave Hallsworth died aged 78. My thoughts are with his wife Elsie and their family.
It is eighteen years since I first met Dave. Easily the oldest member of the political group I travelled with, his enthusiasm and passion belied a man half his age. I’m sure there were many words used to describe him during his lifetime by friend and foe. Here are a few that I will use to remember him now he’s gone; irascible, warm-hearted, thick-skinned, and unswervingly loyal.
