Thomas K Hodgson

It is with great sadness that I report the death at the age of 63, of Thomas K Hodgson, Dispensing Optician of Rhyl, Denbighshire, after a brief but severe illness. It was my enormous privilege and great pleasure to work alongside Tom for only a few months short of 30 years.

            Tom was a scouser by birth, but a proud Welshman by inclination. Although born in Liverpool to a Manx mother and a Cumbrian father, he moved to North Wales with the family when his father, who worked for Pilkington’s as it then was, relocated there to work in their St. Asaph facility.
