My partner, Dick Muskett, who has died aged 82, was an organiser, socialist and entrepreneur who played a key role in setting up the Workers Beer Company, which runs event and festival bars to raise funds for progressive causes.
Dick was a man with strong principles, energy and charm who used his experiences as a soldier, firefighter, trade unionist, event organiser and local government officer to make a difference. A firm believer in collective action, he never took the limelight for himself.
