Tony Gardner, who died last month at the age of 75, joined the trust in 2015 after the death of his wife Jackie.

A spokesperson for the trust said he had become a key member of the team and a friend to many.

> “Best remembered as an expert driver of diggers and dumpers, Tony’s favourite place to take a break was next to the ramp on the Tamworth Road section of the canal – and appropriately it was here that the trust held a celebration of his life and planted an oak tree in his memory.”
