Joanna’s statement read: “Trevor slipped away peacefully this morning in the early hours of what is today his 74th Birthday. He developed breathing probs last evening.
“I’ve lost my soul mate and feel rather at sea. But thankfully he’s now out of pain and we’ve been blessed with lots of time in recent weeks and months to reminisce and shape his wishes. Sorry we couldn’t fix another visit…Taking quiet me-time out today to reflect on our 44 years together. Will miss him like mad. Let u know plans in due course.”
Chris Moore, Trevor’s former colleague at Piccadilly Radio, commented: “Trevor and Jo fought his illness together in a way that I can only describe as humbling. I would not be able to come anywhere close.
