pdw76 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I have been asked to post the following on behalf of Rick (WardleLatic) - - - - - - - - - - It was with great sadness and shock that we have learnt of the death of our friend, fellow fan and Trust Director Jim Whittingham. Jim died this morning and our condolence goes to his wife Maureen and his family. Jim was a valued member of Trust Oldham and with 44 years service working for Oldham Chronicle an important member of the Oldham Community.
