One-armed window cleaner falls to death

[Kahnee]

Not sure I need to actually post the story, but tradition dictates:

 

A POPULAR window cleaner has died after a tragic fall.

 

Daryl Shaw – who had only one arm – had been a postman for many years and was also a good runner and soccer player.

 

Daryl, 45, of Honley, suffered serious head injuries in a fall while cleaning windows at a house on Occupation Road in Lindley on Tuesday teatime and died later that evening at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary.

 

An inquest was due to open at Bradford Coroner’s Court today and his funeral will be next Wednesday.

 

After leaving school Daryl worked in the textile trade and then became an engineer. But he loved the outdoors and became a postman. Over the years he had rounds in Longwood, Armitage Bridge, Hall Bower and Kirkburton.

 

After leaving the Royal Mail around five years ago he set up his own business and bought a window-cleaning round in Lindley.

 

Customers were delighted with his work – and he would always sort out other problems such as blocked gutters if he spotted them while cleaning the windows.
