‘One of the humblest people you could meet’: Popular taxi driver dies from coronavirus
Tributes have been paid to an ‘amazing’ taxi driver from South Yorkshire, who has become the latest coronavirus casualty.
Haji Tanveer Hussain, of Ferham in Rotherham, sadly died on Wednesday, October 7, after contracting Covid-19.
Fellow taxi driver Nasar Raoof paid tribute to Mr Hussain, who he said had worked for Gold Star Taxis in Rotherham town centre and been a hugely popular character.
"He was one of the humblest people you could ever hope to meet and he never had a bad word to say about anyone or anything,” he said.
“He was an amazing driver and an amazing man, who was known by everyone. The huge number of messages on social media following his death show just how popular he was.”
A death announcement shared online told how the family appreciated the support, concern and duas (prayers) from relatives and friends but asked people to observe the social distancing measures and not attend the family home.
