Tributes have been paid to a council worker who had a "welcoming smile."
Ronnie Jones, who worked for Sefton Council for more than 32 years, died "unexpectedly" last week. He was described as a "familiar face" to many residents living in Waterloo as the "smiling and chatty" front of house attendant of Waterloo Town Hall.
A spokesperson for Sefton Council said as a mark of respect and to recognise Ronnie's commitment to and love of the building, flags at Waterloo Town Hall will now be flown at half-mast. Councillor Clare Carragher, Mayor of Sefton, said Ronnie will be greatly missed.
Cllr Carragher also sent condolences to Ronnie's family. She said: “The sad news of Ronnie’s passing was a shock to us all and we will greatly miss his warm and welcoming smile. Ronnie’s knowledge of the building and his drive to go above and beyond was well known across Sefton Council, as well as residents of Waterloo.
“He took great pride in overseeing and maintaining the flower beds at the front of the building as he wanted them to look good for the all the weddings we hosted. Our thoughts go out to Ronnie’s partner, his family and friends at this difficult time.”
