Heartfelt condolences to him and his family.
To hear of one of our own losing his life is always gut-wrenching.
Hope the other lad gets better and soon.

This story today has left me with a scaffolders tear. It's tragic to hear of such an occurrence. I didn't know the guy but things like this really hit home.
Maybe if we all did a 2 minute silence in respect of this and all our other brothers we have lost.
I hope his workmate gets all the help to deal with this and his injuries.
RIP brother !!!!
