DENNIS BURCHAM, printer, building worker, trade unionist and lifelong friend of the Daily Worker and Morning Star, has died aged 82. His health had been in decline since suffering a stroke some years ago.
I can’t remember when I first encountered Dennis, but it would have been in the mid ’70s, in a Ucatt or Communist Party meeting, or maybe it was on a march.
Dennis was passionate about his trade unionism and his politics. He hated injustice, he marched against racism, he marched against war and he marched for socialism.
