A SENIOR councillor led a host of touching local authority tributes to a much-loved family man who passed away following a battle with coronavirus. Beloved grandad-of-three Gordon McNeil passed away in his bed at home in Greenock on January 18, aged just 59. Cllr Liz Robertson says the death of council foreman Gordon has left workers across the whole of the organisation devastated. Gordon was a well known and hugely popular colleague in the council, enjoying almost 40 years of service. Liz says some of the jobs Gordon did behind the scenes over his career may have gone unseen, but that they meant a lot to people.
