“Martin passed away overnight after a short battle with cancer, which he dealt with in typically great spirits, and was surrounded by his family at the end.”
He added: “We can take great comfort from the fact Martin’s legacy and our memories of him will never fade. We will all miss him greatly and our thoughts are with his wife Brenda and his two sons, Matthew and Daniel, at this time.”
