ROGER Hall, who worked for The Oxford Times, has died of cancer, aged 68.
Mr Hall, of Southfield Road, Oxford, moved to the city more than 20 years ago with his wife, Anne, to help her parents run the Isis Hotel, in Iffley Road.
He then joined The Oxford Times as a proof reader, before he took redundancy in the early 1990s.
After leaving the company he worked as an accommodation officer for the Oxford Intensive School of English, based in the High Street, until he went into semi-retirement and became a porter at Exeter College.
Mr Hall leaves behind his wife and twin daughters Natasha and Joanna.
The funeral, attended by more than 90 friends, family and former colleagues, took place at the Oxford Crematorium on Tuesday.
