[Oe List ...] Funeral of Stephen Evans 30 August 2013 13:15

[Marilyn Crocker]

Thank you, dear Paul, for allowing some of us who never knew Stephen -- nor had the good fortune to hear his voice -- stop and honor the gift his life must have been to so many.  I fell in love with the matchless sound of Welch Male Singers when I watched a rerun of that old movie, How Green is My Valley back in the ‘80s.  Upon hearing my enthusiastic expostulations re: that musical genre, Bill Edwards was kind enough to send me a tape of even more extensive samples of that hauntingly beautiful music, and now I have several CDs.  

 

I trust that music will abound at the celebration of Stephen Evans’ Completed Life.

 

Grace and peace,

 

Marilyn

Dear Colleagues,

 

Stephen Evans died a few days ago, much too young. He had colon cancer. 

 

He was the Welshman in the trio with Frank Little and Alan Berresford who joined us around the same time in the UK - in 1973 or there-abouts. He played a key role in starting the HDP project in Tairgwaith. I recall that there was a car accident in which he was involved and that he moved on. Some said that we weren't at our best around that issue with him. 

 

I am glad Frank Little has been in touch with him, even 10 days ago. He is planning to attend the funeral, in some way representing all of us. 

 

I remember the beauty of his Welsh voice.

 

Grace and Peace,

 

Paul

My dear friends,

 

Stephen’s funeral will be held on Friday 30th August at 13.15 in Coychurch Crematorium, Bridgend, South Wales.

I intend to come across to the UK for the funeral. 

 

If you wish to send a message of condolences to Stephen’s mother, her address is:

39 Cowbridge Road, Brynsadler, Pontyclun, Mid-Glamorgen, United Kingdom. The post code is, I believe: CF72 9BS.

 

Stephen’s sister, Patrica , and brother-in-law, Gwyn Evans, can be reached at:

The Bungalow, Southerndown, Vale of Glamorgen, CF32 0RP United Kingdom.

 

I have agreed with Gwyn to inform Lincoln College. Gwyn’s email address is in CC.

I’ll let David Smith know too.

 

Best regards,

Frank
