Funeral

Rotherham Advertiser 27 January 2011

Family and friends made a final farewell today to waste worker Michael Whinfrey, who was killed after an explosion ripped through a Rotherham waste plant.

Dozens of mourners gathered at Rotherham Crematorium today for the father-of-three’s funeral—while waste treatment work at the Sterecycle plant in Templeborough remained on hold following the fatal blast two weeks ago.

Mr Whinfrey, a 42-year-old site operator, from Wickersley, died at Leeds General Hospital after being airlifted following the explosion, which left best friend Peter Lindon Davis (51), with serious injuries in hospital.

Mr Davis was badly burned and is still recovering..
