To: All CWU Branches
Dear Colleague
RE: MR BOB EVANS RETIRED MEMBER AND FORMER BRANCH SECRETARY
It is with great sadness that I write to inform you that Bob Evans, CWU Retired member and trade union officer and activist for over 50 years, passed away peacefully on the 8th August 2015 at the Luton and Dunstable Hospital.
Bob served the union as branch secretary of the Luton Post Office Engineering Union (POEU) Branch. Through various mergers in the region he continued to be branch secretary for the Luton and North Herts Branch and the Beds Herts and Bucks Branch. Over the years Bob also held various District and regional positions. He was a retired member of the Central Counties & Thames Valley Branch.
His dedication and commitment to the union was recognised by the CWU on his retirement when he was awarded the union's Gold Badge.
Bob was a very well respected Branch officer and was also held in very high regard nationally. He will be sadly missed by all his friends and colleagues in the union.
At this sad time our thoughts are of course with Bob's family and friends and to those we convey our deepest sympathies.
The funeral will take place on Wednesday 2nd September 2015 at 3.15pm in the Vale Cemetery & Crematorium, Butterfield Road, Luton, LU2 8DD. Refreshments will be available afterwards at Hilton Garden Inn, Butterfield Business Park, Hitchin Road, Luton, LU2 8DL.
If you have any enquiries on this LTB, these should be addressed to the General Secretary's Office at gsoffice@cwu.org quoting the reference GS1.1/LTB 527/15.
Yours sincerely
Dave Ward
General Secretary

MR BOB EVANS RETIRED MEMBER AND FORMER BRANCH SECRETARY
Passed through Luton the other day and was thinking of dropping in to see Bob who I hadn't seen or been in touch with for a few years. This evening thought I would check if he was on line only to find the message about his death in 2015.
I had become Branch Sec in Ipswich when I met Bob and he was a great help to me as a new activist in the POEU, always generous with his time and willing to share his experience and opinions. He kindly put me up at his home a few times over the years and we often reflected on the important things in life, like good curry and heavy metal music, besides politics of course.
Genuine and caring man - rest in peace.
