Keith Rollinson, Elgin bus driver remembered
Elgin bus driver Keith, who was just 58, died on February 3 at Dr. Gray’s Hospital in Elgin.
His death left the community stunned and his family heartbroken, who described him as a “loving husband and father.”
Keith’s Stagecoach colleagues launched a fundraiser, with more than £40,000 in donations.
A 15-year-old boy has since appeared in court charged with murder.
On February 10, a candle lit vigil was held outside St Giles church to mourn his death.
The family has asked for family flowers only today.
Donations to Keiran’s Legacy, a Moray charity which provides defibrillators, will also be taken at the town hall door.
