Popular Paul loses courageous battle


By Katie Hammond


WELL-KNOWN Waddington character Mr Paul Whitney has succumbed to bowel cancer after a courageous and determined two-year fight with the disease. Paul, of Regent Street, was a popular and


well-loved member of the Waddington com­ munity and showed extraordinary spirit at every stage of his illness. His wicked sense of humour and goodwill remained well and truly intact un­ til he passed away at his home on Wednesday, June 1st, aged 59. Born in 1951 to Jack and Dorothy Whitney,


in Hareholme, Rawtenstall, Paul attended Cloughfold Primary and Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School, before going on to Burnley College of Art. After starting his working life in the Depart­


ment of Employment in Bacup in 1969, Paul travelled to California for a spell, working with his father as a furniture refinisher, before re­ turning to the Rossendale Valley and taking up a position as marketing manager at Hamble- don Studios, Accrington. A talented artist and photographer, Paul went on to join P & P in Haslingden, before founding the very success­ ful print finishing company, Whitney Woods, with his long-term friend and colleague Chris Woods. Today, the company employs more than 20 people and in recent years expanded it’s range to include popular “pop-up” products and exports a large part of its production. A keen footballer in his early years, Paul was heavily involved at local league level from 1965

to 1990, starting his playing life as a member of Newchurch Methodist Boys. He recalled that his most memorable match was when he played in a final at Turf Moor, which clinched the Burnley Premier League and Cup double for Whitewell Bottom, a local team that he also managed. Throughout his life, Paul was also an ardent supporter of Blackburn Rovers and Rawtenstall Cricket Club. Paul’s love of travel led to him extensively

commented before his death: “I believe that most mistakes become lessons and soon fall into the category of life’s rich tapestry, but I cannot help thinking that maintaining a 35-year social life based on drinking and smoking was not the wisest move I’ve ever made! I didn’t half pack a lot into the time that I’ve had though, and over­ all, it wasn’t a bad innings, was it?!” Tributes for Paul have flooded in from the


mother Dorothy and his sister Gaynor. He had no children but was a “guardian, mentor and life organiser” to Jack Barnes, who is well-known in the Rawtenstall area. Renowned for his love of socialising, Paul


many friends, colleagues and acquaintances, who’s lives he touched. His love of music ex­ tended to celebrated performances at Wad­ dington Social Club and his record collection was legendary. Some of the hundreds of mes­ sages left on his Facebook page summed up the high regard in which he was held: “May what­ ever journey you have be worthy of your light. Give ‘em a good song Paul, wherever you are headed.” • A memorial service will be held at Wad­


dington Methodist Church this Saturday, June llth, at 2 p.m. Everyone attending is welcome afterwards at Waddington Social Club. RSVP topeterfisherl@yahoo.com Donations to Cancer Research UK can be
