Earlier this evening (15th Dec), we were made aware of the sad passing of the much beloved Kersal councillor, Peter Connor, who has served tirelessly on the Council since May 1990.
Peter was a down to earth true Salfordian with a wicked sense of humour, which went hand in hand with an almost encyclopedic memory of the changes he witnessed in Salford during his life time, he was widely respected and beloved by all of those who met him.
No matter how small the issue, Peter was always willing to listen and help in any way he could.
Myself and Tony Flynn had the absolute pleasure of chatting with him early last year as part of the Lark Hill Place 1918 celebrations at Salford Museum and Art Gallery, when he was serving as Ceremonial Mayor of Salford.
His many humorous memories and tales of the now long gone Hanky Park were a privileged to have shared, and brought a fair few chuckles from both myself and Tony Flynn.
Salford has today suffered a terrible loss, he was a true gentleman and an outstanding politician who has served this City admirably.
Our condolences go to his family at this heartbreaking time.
