Tributes paid to Alderney politician
ALDERNEY politician Paul Arditti spent '24 hours a day' working for the island, friends and colleagues have said.
Messages of condolence and tribute came from all quarters after the 62-year-old died suddenly yesterday morning after suffering a suspected heart attack.
Bailiwick politicians, civil servants and friends of the Scrutiny Committee chairman expressed their shock and sadness at the news.
Mr Arditti, who was due to lay a requete regarding the Alderney airfield before the States next week, was also a keen bell ringer.
Friend Peter Bevis, who is also the steeple keeper and former master bellringer at St Anne's Church, said Mr Arditti's death was unexpected and shocking.
'Paul was a man who threw himself into things,' he said.
'He never did anything half-baked or half-heartedly.
'He was a man who knew what he wanted and would do everything in his power to achieve it.'
