Proud Yorkshireman Glenn Kirk died in late November. He spent his whole working life with long-established Yamaha and Piaggio dealer J K Hirst Motorcycles in Listerhills Road, Bradford. He was 70 and had fought a long battle with ill health in later years after serious heart problems. His funeral took place on 3 December.
Friend Ian Lee of XS Motorcycle Training in Bradford recalls: “As a member of our local bike club, COBRA (Confused Old Buggers Riding Around) for 20 years, we rightfully escorted his coffin to its resting place.”
Glenn’s daughter, Debbie, added: “My dad loved the outdoors and was a true Tyke who loved nothing better than walking in the Yorkshire Dales. I am very proud of him and the quiet dependable man he was.”
Glenn leaves a loving wife Barbara.
