Lindsay was a good friend and an exceptional operator and i will miss him very much.You know that when he was on a job he was trust worthy and good with the customer, many of the people which he has worked with, have been in contact and wish to pass on their thoughts and wishes to his family.
I would also again personally wish to thank the Emergency Services which attended the site who treat our mate with the up most care and respect at all times. I was on site and cannot give them enough praise.
Our thoughts should also be with Dennis Griffiths Lindsys second man.
I am in touch with Lindsays family several times a day and they with me.They have asked me to get in touch with You Tube because some insignificant person has posted it on You Tube which i am attempting to close, also some of the posted comments are not helping the family whatsoever, every one is entitled to free speech but guys if you need to, lets wait until we have put the big man to rest. Many people and friends have asked regarding a collection for the family if you require to do so can you pass it to Mr Roy Walker at Baldwins Leeds Depot Please.
