The heartbroken wife of a Letchworth engineer who was fatally electrocuted in an incident at work that led to three companies being fined £600,000 has bravely shared a loving tribute to her late husband.

Craig Stocker, working for Serviceline (part of AFE Group), died on 13 December 2017 while fixing a food waste disposal unit at Bishops Wood Hospital, operated by BMI Healthcare (now known as Circle Health Group Limited) in Northwood, Middlesex.

The 36-year-old, who was originally from Stevenage, Hertfordshire, but lived in Letchworth, came into contact with a metal section of the macerator that had been electrified as water had entered the machine's wiring.

Craig's wife Leah said: "Craig and I would enjoy dinners out, trips to the cinema, day trips to the seaside and we loved to go on holidays, with Tenerife being a particular favourite.

"Craig was a family man, both with his own family and my family and not forgetting his lads holidays with Martin, Owen and many other of his friends. Craig would also enjoy spending time with his childhood friend Mark who he spent a lot of time with sharing his interests with Mark, particularly American football (NFL) and WWE shows.

"He was a kind-hearted man who was a hardworking, caring individual. Craig had a passion for American football, WWE wrestling and listening to music from morning until night and many other hobbies. He was the life and soul of any party.

"On the day that Craig died, our lives changed in many ways, nothing can prepare you for this, nothing can prepare you for the psychological and emotional turmoil this causes to one's mental health, Craig is missed by many people, myself and his mum Dianne in particular.

"Craig you are missed, you will always be missed but forever in our thoughts and hearts you will remain."

Three companies have been fined a total of £600,000 after an engineer was fatally electrocuted while repairing an appliance in a hospital kitchen.
