A MEMORIAL service for a Bolton-born paramedic who died from a rare form of meningitis will be held on Friday.
Robert Cavenay died just after Christmas in Bristol after being struck down with the deadly illness.
The funeral of the ambulance technician, who had been working in Plymouth for two years, was held in the South-west shortly after his death, but his parents have planned another ceremony to allow his Bolton-based friends to remember him.
Robert, aged 28, a former Sharples School pupil, was thought to be responding well to treatment in hospital before he was killed by a heart attack brought on by the illness.
The service is being held at St Paul's Church, Astley Bridge, at noon on Friday before an interment of ashes at Astley Bridge Cemetery. His family have asked that any donations be made to K Ward at Southmead Hospital, Bristol.
