PRINCIPLED, calm and a champion of real ale – that is how West Midlands police commissioner Bob Jones will be remembered by his friends in Rugby.
Mr Jones, who died suddenly last Monday at his home in Wolverhampton aged 59, was a regular visitor to events organised by the Rugby Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) as a member of the group in his home city.
Spokesman Steve Heighton said he met Mr Jones while both were active trade unionists in the engineering sector in the Midlands, describing him as a knowledgeable man and great company over a pint.
“Bob was a genuinely great man in his police work to his long and proud record of being a real ale man of some knowledge.
“The local branch raised a glass to Bob on Saturday at the Rugby Festival of Culture.”
Ron Ball, Warwickshire’s police commissioner, added: “Bob was very principled and made eloquent calm arguments in the face of often turbulent discussions and debate. We shall remember him as a man who has made a huge contribution to the policing agenda.”
