J A Woodman
All readers, particularly those who knew him well, will be saddened by the news of the untimely passing on Easter Tuesday of Mr Alan Woodman. He passed away at the Heath Hospital, Cardiff, after a comparatively short illness.
He had served the company for 44 years, the last four years as a director. During the greater part of his career he had been concerned with personnel matters (see staff). He served on many committees attached to the Shipping Industry both nationally and locally.
There is no greater tribute to his memory then can be given by all who were fortunate to have known him as a friend, colleague and confidante them to say - "We will all be that much poorer for his passing."
To his brother and family we extend our deepest sympathy
