HE was a person of magnitude of great standing in York - his death came as a shock and leaves a massive hole.

These are the proud words of the grieving son of Houssen Mohamudbuccus, a founding member of the York Mosque, care-home owner and loving family man, who has died suddenly, but peacefully, at home.

Originally from Mauritius, Houssen came to York in 1980 and worked as a psychiatric nurse at Clifton Hospital before becoming a social services manager at Willow House. In 1997 he took charge of Broadway Lodge care home in Fulford with his wife Swadeka.

Houssen was one of the founding members of York Mosque and was heavily involved in efforts to build the new mosque at Bull Lane.
