Tiptree Parish Council
It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of Roger Mannion. Roger was a truly great man who formerly had served in the Fleet Air Arm as a helicopter pilot during the Falklands conflict. Subsequently he ran his own business, lectured in adult education, wrote and published four books on steam railways and was Technical Director for Chelmsford Theatre Workshop.
Since retirement, Roger served as a Tiptree Parish Councillor and took on the role of Chairman before being elected twice as a Colchester Borough/City Councillor representing Tiptree. Roger worked tirelessly for the community of Tiptree and the residents of Tiptree still enjoy the benefits of his labours.
The councillors and staff of Tiptree Parish Council wish to remember Roger with great gratitude.
He will be sorely missed and our thoughts are with Christine and the family.
