Death reported[edit]

The death of Les Cocker has been reported in the Shropshire Star of Saturday 18 March 2017. The report did not pinpoint his actual death date and mentioned "The funeral of 77-year-old Mr Cocker, of Newport [Shropshire], was held earlier this month" (location of funeral unspecified).
