Eddie Stobart

And I’m sure none was taken – perhaps even he would have been amused by the irony. Good obit in the Telegraph today. ]

was that telegraph or tachograph ???

No disrespect was meant, I genuinely did see great irony in it.

My brother died at more or less the same age, a salutary reminder to me never to waste a day of the life one has left, nobody guarantees you will live into your eighties, even if the probability is that you will.

Yes, it does make you think:(

i also had a bit of a chuckle at that, RIP though Mr Stobart

Ironic he was limited to 56. Just like his trucks.

I know it was wrong to laugh at that, I feel bad.

Oh thats sad news. I love seeing the Eddie Stobart trucks and reading off the names.

Very sad news, at least he had seven years of retirement. 🙁

Thank you for correcting my mistake GA – I have just discovered it and was about to edit my post. It does not make for any less sad reading and the death of anyone of that age is tragic.

I think it’s Eddie Stobart Jr (rather than the father, who founded the company) who has passed away today, Sky High.

Good heavens!! I doubt that many of us have not seen the famous trucks many times over the years. Eddie has not been a part of the business for a while and his younger son is the only family member in the multinational group, I believe.
