Following the passing of Charles Lagaaia many team mates, colleagues, friends, union and wider rail family wish to make contributions to help his family during this tragic time.

Charles was a personal friend and colleague who was taken away from us before his time.

He was a devoted family man and loved by many. He leaves behind his wife, daughter and two grandchildren.

He was well respected by his team mates and colleagues who he worked with over 26 years.

The funds which we are raising will be given to his family to support them now and in the future.

His family and friends greatly appreciate your condolences, support and assistance.

It is in times like this that we all pull together, unite and look after one another.

There is no time limit for collecting these funds, however the quicker we can achieve the target the quicker we will be able to help his family.

Charles’ passing is a great loss to all of us.

Thank you again for your support and condolences and any contribution you can make to ease the burden of Charles’ family.
