It is with great regret to inform you that Eric Usher died on the 25th April after a long illness. He had been suffering from pancreatic cancer for some time.
Eric was formerly a Chief Engineer and then Engineering Personnel Superintendent (1966 -
1976) with Blue Star Line and BSSM. Many will have been originally employed by Eric and all those who knew him will know what a gentleman he was. Some would say too much of a gentleman to have been in personnel department, with his many battles with the fifth floor.
After leaving BSSM he returned to sea as Chief Engineer, I believe in tankers before retiring to Lockerbie.
His great love was caravaning which he and Audrey enjoyed till recently.
I believe the funeral was to be today (Thursday), but the venue is unknown.
Sincere condolences to his wife Audrey.
