56? Heart attack? About right for truckers. One of the most stressful jobs going and a diet of motorway food. OK, so it was probably awhile since he had to rewind his tacograph but you know what I mean...
Met him on a few occasions through work in the late eighties/early nineties. He was alledgedly the biggest single contributor to the Morman faith in this country for a while.
On the way home from Rochdale our coach driver was doing some Stobart spotting. He told us you can always spot a Stobart lorry in the dark as they have three red lights at the top of their trailers and three small white lights on the cab radiator. He'll be one upset man today.

'Allegedly' ordinarily means 'bollocks'. In this case, it means... bollocks.
"Eddie Stobart is not only Carlisle's wealthiest entrepreneur, he is also the Mayor and holds the title First Lord of Carlise. One of his official duties, which he takes very seriously, is to de-flower all virgin brides that are married within the city walls. He commemorates each one by naming a lorry after them. "

I'll get my coat.
Or at least it was.
Indeed, I came across him at a business thingy once. Nice man. RIP
Always came across as a people person.
Shame, 56 is far too young.
