Farewell Paul Sorrell

Hi From BT MR Staff,
Paul Sorrell.jpg
Alan Parry posted a notice with the sad news of Paul's death.




I have been asked by Paul's daughter, Clare, to post a notice.

With sadness, I inform you that Paul Sorrell has died.

Paul began his working life with BT in the exchange at Ilford, London - near to where he was from.

In 1979 he transferred to Stalybridge, Tameside in Greater Manchester after he married and his family moved up North.

Paul worked for BT all his working life, on various staffs around Greater Manchester. Notably on Exchange Construction and Wide Band.

He retired in around 2012, after he was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson's Disease at aged 50 in 2002. His heart gave out in the end.

Paul made great friends at BT and the family particularly hope to hear from his old friends, John Hall and Carl, as well as anyone else who might wish to attend his funeral.
