Bill Llewhellin

Bill Remembered

From Brian Russell
Saddened to hear about Bill. We shared a house and had some good laughs - he was quite a character. His rendition of Men of Harlech after several pints was generally howled down by the rest of us and he never got to finish. Condolences to Beryl and his family.

From Dave Mercer
I remember him well with fond memories. Affectionately dubbed Taffy but if you really wanted to wind him up you would whistle the theme tune to last of the summer wine as the secondary nickname was compo???? A fine airman

From Tref Abbott
Bill was one of our supervisors when I worked for Load Control back in the 70's and 80's. I had looked for his name in the crew room a few years ago but couldn't find it. He was the ONLY supervisor I would have looked for because he really was a great bloke.

He had a fantastic character and personality and for a supervisor, showed great genuine kindness. I always found him to be fair and understanding, especially as most of us there were in our very early twenties so effectively, still not really matured. Most of all, he had an amazing sense of humour and would often have us rolling up with his tales or comments, usually accompanied by his large booming voice.

It always seems that once someone has passed people make nice comments about them but Bill really was the real deal and he certainly made this world a better place simply by his presence.

From Trevor Tommy Gunn
Bill was a great guy and one you could always have laugh with. I will never forget every party where I was the DJ he would always ask me to play The Flowerpot Men - Lets go to San Francisco. RIP Bill Blue skies and flowers in your hair.

From Don Passmore: RIP Bill

From Judy Firth: Goodbye to a true gent. It was my pleasure to have known you Bill

From Karen James: A real gentleman and always a pleasure to work with; RIP Bill
