Sam Plank RIP

 

We were very sad to hear of the death of Sam Plank. Sam was a legend in local broadcasting in this area, working for  three decades for Radio Stoke, Signal Radio, Focal Radio and Radio Moorlands.  Sam had a wonderful knack of putting people at their ease when he interviewed them and he always spoke on behalf of ordinary people. He made people proud of who they were and where they lived. He cared passionately about local issues and local people. He was a great friend of South Cheshire  and tireless in helping local good causes to raise funds. We will always remember the Mayor's Oscar Evening that he hosted with his wife Verity during our Mayoral year. It was a really uplifting, inspirational, happy evening. Sam and Verity also  hosted the local Star Quest 2008 and they made every contestant seem special.

We would like to pass on our condolences and sympathy to Verity and all of Sam's family and many friends.

We have lost a local broadcasting natural, a man with an infectious enthusiasm, who was a pioneer of local radio in our area.

Yours faithfully,

Cllr. Brian Silvester and Sheila Davies

Mayor and Mayoress of Crewe and Nantwich 2008/9

His funeral took place today
