A widow paid tribute to her “lovely” husband who died from a stroke – after beating cancer.
Father-of-three Glen Lemin, 28, of Sea King Crescent, High Woods, Colchester, had battled testicular cancer earlier this year.
The West Ham football supporter died before consultants had been able to give him the good news that he had beaten cancer. His widow Lucy was told after his death.
Mrs Lemin made the painful decision to allow his life support machine to be switched off on December 2, two days after he suffered a stroke.
She said: “He was a devoted West Ham fan and will be buried in his West Ham top.
“He was great fun and always up for a laugh and had a smile that cheered everyone up.
“Even when he was feeling ill, he still had a sense of humour.”
