The ‘devastated’ widow of a Bristol man who died suddenly of an asbestos-related cancer he never knew he had has launched an emotional appeal for his former workmates to get in touch.
Roland Clapp, who was well-known around Bristol as a big Bristol City fan, worked at some of the city’s most prominent workplaces, including at the Port of Bristol Authority, The Board Mill Factory in St Anne’s and the Bristol Royal Infirmary, during a varied 55 year career in the city.
But his sudden death in December left his family and friends devastated, and it was only after he died that it emerged he had been suffering from peritoneal mesothelioma.
