Today was the funeral of long standing London UNISON activist Peter (as I knew him) Daley. Peter was also a member of the UNISON Housing Associations Branch committee for many years and a firm supporter of the forces of light and reason in the Region.
When he was younger, Peter had also served his county as a infantry soldier in the British Army in a dangerous conflict zone. In more recent times he had worked as a residents liaison officer in a housing estate I know well, which was going through a "very difficult" emergency block decant. He was very much a supportive but no nonsense, housing professional.
He will be sadly missed. I had hoped to go to his funeral but was not able to due to a clash. Yvonne Green, the London UNISON convenor and other union activists were there in Birmingham today and I was able to watch the Committal on line.
His family have requested donations to Cancer Research and London UNISON have agreed to donate £150 in his memory.
Rest in Peace Peter
