Obituary – Malcolm Lewis

BFPA is very sorry to announce the death of Malcom Lewis who passed away in February 2017. Malcolm worked at the BFPA many years ago, in the mid 1990’s looking after our distributor members and carrying out Approved Hose Assemblies Scheme visits, under the then Director, Neil Percival. We will remember his sense of humour and jovial character – Malcolm always had a good story to tell! Anyone wishing to make contact with Malcolm’s’ family can do so via the BFPA.
