A South Shields pharmacy delivery driver has been described as an 'absolute diamond' after he passed away just 17 days after his stepson.
Frank Ebdon, 61, had a cardiac arrest at his home in South Shields on Friday morning. Originally from Castletown in Sunderland, Frank leaves behind his wife of seven years Angie, daughter Jackieline, three grandchildren and five step-grandchildren.
He also had a twin sister, Carol, and four more siblings, Hazel, Susan, John and David. Frank's death comes just 17 days after his stepson Andrew Brady died, with Frank's wife and stepdaughter "devastated" at the prospect of organising two funerals so close to one another.
