A popular Shropshire historian and author has been described as "the best husband, dad and granddad" after his death aged 77.David Trumper, who was"like a walking encyclopaedia on Shrewsbury" and had"probably the biggest" private collection of historic photographs of Shropshire, died on Wednesday this week after falling ill.
"He was kind, he was funny. He used to make us laugh. He was renowned for talking to people he didn't know as well. He just had a way with people. He did an apprenticeship in printing and worked in the industry for a few years before qualifying as a teacher.He taught at Cleobury Mortimer Primary School and Greenacres Primary School in Shrewsbury, but he spent most of his teaching career at Ladygrove Primary School in Dawley, Telford, where he became deputy head.
"He recorded everything meticulously. His knowledge was unbelievable. What he didn't know probably wasn't worth knowing."
