Solicitor at leading firm dies aged 59

A popular solicitor who practised in Stourbridge for 35 years has died after a long battle with cancer, aged 59.

Peter Dorr, a partner of Wall James Chappell, was described as "well-respected" and "a gentleman" by his colleagues.

Racing car enthusiast Mr Dorr, of Pedmore, had been told he only had six months to live in January 2008 but continued to fight the disease. He leaves his wife Sue and two sons James and Adrian, who both attended Old Swinford Hospital School in Stourbridge.
