Dear Julie & Family,

Was so sad to hear of Adrian's passing. He was a wonderful person. Enjoyed knowing him during his time on the NEC and as UNISON's President. You two were a great team. Sending you a hug.

Love Joan

You will be sadly missed Adrian, my Dad thought so highly of you. Anyone who could take on Julie needed a medal so my Dad said. You've been part of the family for a long time and although didn't see you often it was always a delight to spend time chatting and laughing xx

House mate at Exhall Grange School, Coventry. A staunch socialist and passionate trade unionist - I know you were extremely proud of your rise to the role of UNISON National President and your appearance in Ken Loach's film 'Spirit of 45'.
Condolences to Julie and family. You will be sadly missed by us all.
R.I.P. Dilly.
