KenROTHWELLThe family is very sad to announce the passing of Mr Ken Rothwell on Tuesday, June 14, aged 91, after a short illness at home, surrounded by his family. Ken was a much-devoted husband to the late Edna. He was a loved and highly respected community figure in Helmshore and will be greatly missed. Ken was a Painter and Decorator for over 60 years. He leaves behind his daughters Gill and Jo, and their families. Ken was an active member of Haslingden Conservative Club, The Royal British Legion and the Lodge of Amity to name a few.
