REPORT TO THE LTRC 28/04/16 FROM JOHN REID NATIONAL EXECUTIVE MEMBER

LEON Rest In Peace
Leon was an exceptional trade unionist and socialist who built the membership of our Region. He was a man of action who involved himself in every dispute and as a brilliant speaker added to every debate and discussion. He was a lovely person and will be missed by us all.
My thoughts are with his family.
Rest In Peace Leon.
