IT was with great sadness that we heard of the death of Mr Gino Ward, of Breightmet, who worked at Bolton Community College.

For many years, along with Les Elvin and Bill Lovett, Gino worked tirelessly for his community, both teaching and helping to set up and support new and existing community groups.

He was a man who was respected by all, from the schoolboy in the street to our civic leaders.

His familiar, cheerful figure will be sorely missed by many.
