    So sorry to hear the sad news that 70 had passed away. Always enjoyed his company, not least his welcoming friendly smile and wit. With deepest sympathy to his family and friends. RIP Colin.

    There are many kinds of sorrow
    in this world of love and hate
    But there is no sterner sorrow
    Than a soldier’s for his mate

    I'd like to thank all those that attended our Dad's (Albert Collin Evans 70) funeral on Friday and for the kind messages received. We were totally overwhelmed by the turnout and the distance some people had travelled, the Funeral Director informed me there was in the region of 180 people, a true sign of how popular and liked Dad was.

    Although it was a truly sad occasion, I think he would have approved of the Military Service carried out by the Comrades Association, including the Bugler playing Last Post. Those that knew Dad will be aware of his love for singing, especially his favourite song "If I could see the Rhondda", so it seemed only fitting that we played it on a screen at the wake, which was an emotional reminder of all the times he sang it at family gatherings. A couple of people have asked me for a copy of it, so those that would like to see it, this is a link to it on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/stuart.c.evans/videos/2559917367356842/ - if you're not Facebook I'm happy to email the clip to anyone that wants it. I have attached an electronic copy of the Order of Service if anyone would like it.

    We also wish to thank those that kindly donated to our chosen charity, Pancreatic Cancer UK. The total raised on the day was £400, your generosity is greatly appreciated.


    The night ended with the Morlais Male Choir singing some favourites, which provided a spectacular end to a very emotional day. Dad would have loved it!

    You and Ceri did everything your dad would of liked and would of been proud of you both, I was so privileged to of been his friend and he always looked out for me, I think my mam told him to, I'm just glad he didn't tell her everything I got up to in my early days in the Regiment,
    he knew what to and what not to tell her.
    He will be missed by all our family and others that knew him in Maerdy.
