Tom Benson Pay your tributes to much-loved Horwich publican

TRIBUTES have poured in to Horwich publican Tom Benson.

And you can leave your own tribute to the 36-year-old below in our online book of condolence.

Tom was well known in Horwich, having run the White Tiger Bar and the Crux Emporium in Lee Lane, and most recently cocktails firm Apotek Class.

Just after 10pm on Saturday, a car crashed into a tree in Lever Park Avenue. Tom, a passenger in the vehicle, was pronounced dead at the scene, while a three-year-old, an eight-year-old and a 31-year-old woman were all taken to hospital.

Tributes, including flowers and cards, have been left at the scene for Tom. 

One said: “To our family member Tom. Tragically taken in an horrific accident may you rest in peace Tom. See you again soon.”

A cousin posted on Facebook saying: “Our family are devastated it’s such a massive shock. I haven’t stopped crying all day. He was such a lovely man a fantastic dad and he will be greatly missed by all, sleep tight Tom.”

So very sad to hear about this dreadful tragedy. He had turned into such a lovely, kind & caring young man who my family had known since he was a young boy but lost contact with until he came to Horwich. My thoughts & sincere condolences go out to all of his family & friends, but especially to Lydia his Mum & sisters. So sorry for your loss. A senseless waste xxx
