Tributes have been paid to a well-loved Nafferton man and long-serving parish councillor.
Mr Clifford Horsman, who died on Monday 27 May aged 76, has been remembered by his former colleagues at Nafferton Parish Council.
Councillor Mike Jackson, deputy chairman of the parish council, said: “He was the chair for many years when I first started, and he had a great wealth of local history knowledge and a sensible head on his shoulders.
“He was a really nice guy, a really helpful bloke and a real asset to the village.
“He volunteered as a translator for the emergency plan, and he gave a lot to the village - we will be very sad not to have him any longer.”
Anne Tyler, clerk to the parish council, said: “He was a font of knowledge with regard to the history of Nafferton.
“He was a valued parish councillor and he was always there when you wanted help.”
Mr Horsman, who died in St Catherine’s Hospice, Scarborough, was chair of the parish council twice during the 1990s, and served as clerk once. He resigned from the parish council three years ago.
A funeral service, to be attended by family and friends of Mr Horsman along with chairman of Nafferton Parish Council Coun Alan Fassnidge, and Councillor Mike Jackson, will be held on Friday 7 June at Nafferton Church.
