The couple's death was described by one friend as a 'huge loss to our community'
The married couple who died when their Mercedes became trapped in flood water have been described as "devoted" grandparents who were well known in Liverpool's Jewish community.
Rabbi Avremi Kievman, of Chabad Lubavitch synagogue, in Mossley Hill, said the couple were regular attendees and had been personal friends for around 30 years. "Their loss will leave a mark, in the whole community, for many people. It is a terrible loss, and the horrific circumstances will make it harder to accept.”
Detective Chief Inspector Mike Dalton said: “Our thoughts go out to the family of the man and woman who sadly lost their lives in this tragic incident, despite the best efforts of passing members of the public, our officers and Merseyside Fire and Rescue Services at the scene.
