It is grossly unseemly to celebrate the death of anyone. I'll make an exception in this case - poisonous man who, together with Archer, was the cause of much misery to Albion fans. Rarely has someone been so influential in attempting, and nearly succeeding, in destroying an entire community.
I think that any obituaries should not be rose tinted in this case. Any mention of his passing in the media should be accompanied by an explanation of what made him notorious; this was not being a Lib Dem but rather his part in the attempted murder of a football club.
Wait for the plaudits on his character and local contribution that entirley glosses over or ignore his conduct in relation to the Albion. That's politics...

When I first read the link in the OP, there was a comment from someone that included criticism of Bellotti due to his antics at the Albion. That comment has since been deleted, even though it did not, imo, breach the posting guidelines of that website, which guidelines I have just read in their entirety.
