BertCATLOWBert Catlow, of Great Harwood, passed away peacefully at his home with his wife by his side on February 11, aged 87 years.

The devoted and much loved husband of Janet, loving dad of Stephen and his partner Sue, loved grandad of Abigail and her husband Patrick and Nicholas and his partner Hannah, cherished great-grandad of Adeline and Ezra, dear brother of David and also a respected relative and good friend to many.

Following his school years, Bert began his working life as a junior clerk working in a spinning mill before moving to Prestige Ewbank at Accrington working his way up through the ranks to manager of the shipping department, following its closure Bert moved to the Burnley site.
He then joined the family business running a Textile Manufacturer Company becoming a well known and loved local business man. Bert took great pride in his appearance and where ever he was going he would always be immaculately turned out with his tie tied in a perfect double Windsor knot. He was a football fanatic and in his younger years Bert played for Accrington Town Team, Accrington Corinthians and Great Harwood, he supported Manchester City and Accrington Stanley where he was awarded life time membership for his support to the club.

Bert loved holidays and over the years he has travelled the globe across land and sea with his wife and best friend Janet and also enjoyed many happy times at his holiday homes in Tenerife and Wales. Bert will be sadly missed but fondly remembered by all those who had the pleasure of knowing him.
