David Nicholls, 74, formerly Area Sales Manager covering Devon, Cornwall and Dorset for Moseley in the South, has died.
He spent 33 years working for Moseley and after his official retirement date, continued working three days a week until 2015, based from his Ilfracombe home. He was well-known among the coaching community as a result of his long service with the dealership.
He suffered from cancer many years ago, but made a complete recovery. However, an aggressive form recently returned and he died in a hospice, near his family, in Maidenhead.
The funeral, details of which are to be arranged, is expected to be in his native Devon.
