---

Haulage magnate Edward Stobart, who built up the Eddie Stobart lorry empire and ran it for more than 30 years,
has died at the age of 56.
He suffered what were described as "heart problems" on Wednesday and died this morning in hospital in Coventry.
He took the business started by his father Eddie and built it into the best known haulage company in the UK.

56 is no age at all is it!

I would imagine it will be some funeral procession

Shouldn't that be a funeral convoy?

Too young!!

I was going to say "didn't he die in the 70's?" But wow, that is pretty young in all

Didn't he sell the company to his brother a couple of years ago? Only 56 though.

Very sad, as said above way to young

56 - that's a bit cruel, probably made millions and never got to enjoy it.

Makes you wonder if getting wealthy (or should I say earning wealth) is good for you.....

Isn't it ironic that Eddie Stobart was limited to 56?

But they are making a film of his life. I've seen the trailer.
