A generous hospital porter known for handing out sweets to his colleagues has died after testing positive for coronavirus. Brian Darlington, a porter with Mid Cheshire Hospitals, died at Leighton Hospital after contracting Covid-19, a spokesman for the hospital trust has said.
His wife Ava paid tribute to him saying: "We were married for 46 years and Brian was a great husband, as well as father and grandfather. "He was dedicated to the trust, and as a family we are grateful for and appreciative of all of the kind words and messages we have seen and received." The trust spokesman said Mr Darlington was fondly remembered by colleagues in hotel services for his sense of humour and positive outlook.
