Local councillors representing East Williamston in Pembrokeshire have paid tribute to a member of the community in Pentlepoir who had been an active member over so many years.

Mr Richard William Fanus of Templebar Road, Pentlepoir passed away, suddenly but peacefully at home on Thursday, November 6 aged 79.

Speaking of Mr Fanus at the recent meeting of East Williamston Community Council, county councillor for the ward Cllr Jacob Williams said that he had been an active member of the community over so many years, and offered his assistance to the Community Council in many ways, particularly at the Pentlepoir play area where his efforts would include regularly picking litter without being asked, and cordoning off damaged play equipment to prevent injury to others.

The funeral service of Mr Fanus will take place on Monday, December 1 at Parc Gwyn Crematorium, Narberth, at 1 pm.

There will be immediate family flowers only with donations in lieu, if so desired for The Pembrokeshire Foodbank & British Heart Foundation c/o E. C. Thomas and Son, Zoar Chapel Funeral Home, Llanteg, Narberth.
