A daughter and wife have paid tribute to their Leith-born father and husband who was always the “life and soul” of any room he entered after he sadly lost his life to invasive Strep A.
Daughter Alana Slater spoke of the immense loss that her family felt after Hibee-daft dad, John Slater, 68, passed away on December 5 2022. John had sadly taken ill with invasive Strep A after returning from a family holiday. He had to seek assistance while feeling breathless at his London Gatwick hotel.
He was rushed to hospital in East Surrey where unfortunately his condition deteriorated suddenly and sepsis began to kick in. He was placed on an IV drip and put on antibiotics while having kidney dialysis but tragically died less than 24 hours later.
