In a tribute on social media, his daughter Ann Peacock said she was devastated.
“To my beautiful, loving, most caring, thoughtful, generous and brilliant father, you will be so greatly missed, your guidance and deep love for us will live in my heart, we are absolutely devastated.
“Daddy, love you more than the world, please continue to look after us all. You will live within us forever and ever.”
