The daughter of a grandad who passed away while fishing said he died doing what he loved. Barry Lomas, 68, sadly passed away on Friday (September 9) at the Moss Farm Fisheries in Irlam.
According to his daughter Claire, Barry - who was an avid angler - had gone to the moss with his friends but died after a sudden heart attack. Speaking to the MEN about her father's love for fishing Claire said: "If you said to my dad 'when it's your time to go, how would you want to go?' without a doubt it would have been fishing.
"Most photos I have got of him, he's fishing. It's not nice that he's gone, but it is nice that the he went the one way he would have liked to go."
