Neal ChubbJenny Sullivan, Abbas Yousuf (the Grove Green ward Focus Team) and the Liberal Democrats are mourning the sudden death of Neal Chubb.
Known by very many people in Waltham Forest for his friendliness and good humour. Neal was a stalwart of the Grove Green Focus Team. He worked tirelessly in the ward for over 10 years despite not winning a seat on the Council.
He was often seen with his Focus Team colleagues delive3ring Focus, chatting to people in the streets and collecting grumbles.
His passion for education led him to be3come a Governor at Dawlish School, Chair of Governors at Jenny Hammond School and Chair of the Council’s School Appeals committee. He was also a gifted artist.
Jenny Sullivan says: There was no one quite like Neal and we are all the poorer without him. His energy and his ability to ask the difficult questions will be greatly missed by all who knew and worked with him.
I have only just heard this terrible news. I had been worried that I had not seen Neal around for a while – we often used to bump into each other in local cafes. I have only just got back from Amsterdam (ironically a city Neal loved) so I don’t know whether I have missed the funeral – if you know when/where it is to be I would be grateful if you could email me.
I will miss Neal’s intellect and wit very much and, as Jenny Sullivan says, the world is a poorer place without him.
