Wilf Young

We are very sorry to report that Ramsey Town Commissioner Wilf Young has sadly passed away.

Sandra Cottam-Shea, Deputy Chairman of Ramsey Town Commissioners, commented:

“It is with great sadness that we, the Ramsey Town Commissioners, Officers and Staff, pay our respects to Mr. Wilf Young who has recently passed.

We would like to send our heartfelt condolences to Wilf’s family, friends and loved ones.

Wilf was a commissioner for the best part of twenty-four years. Always true to his values, never shy of expressing his opinion and he leaves a legacy of great one-line statements that got his message across.

His local knowledge of Ramsey, the Isle of Man, coastlines and her sea will rarely be matched, and I know that Wilf will be part of our glorious Manx folklore in future years.

You will be missed Wilf, thank you for your service.”

Mr Young was first elected to the Commissioners in 2002. During his time as a Commissioner Mr Young proudly held a number of roles including that of Deputy Lead Member for Parks and Leisure, Deputy Lead Member of the Housing Committee and a Member of Housing Committee. Mr Young represented the Commission on a number of other organisations including on the Northern Local Authorities Swimming Pool Board, Yn Chruinnaght Trust, Isle of Man Municipal Association and the Northern Traffic Management Liaison Group.
