Members of Port Talbot Motor Club, many friends, and of course family were shocked to hear news that David W. Williams had been found dead yesterday at his home in Llanelli. He was found by his closest friend, John Hughes, President of PTMC.
David was a man that effectively was Port Talbot Motor Club, so dedicated was he to it, and he became so much a part of life there. David played such a huge role in the lives of everyone there that it is hardly believable that he has gone.
Known and respected throughout the country, “DWW” as he was affectionately known to all, also took many other major roles in motorsport, within the Welsh Association, ANCRO, and the RACMSA, as Chairman, Timekeeper and MSA Council member.
His contribution was immense, and his many close friends in PTMC and the world at large are shocked and saddened by his untimely death.
David had undergone heart surgery in the past year, but had made a good recovery, and looked forward to many more happy years. To say that he will be missed is an understatement, and having spoken to him just days ago, as he was looking forward to attending the ANCRO awards presentation in Leicester, and waving him a cheery goodbye as he left, I can hardly believe that it was for the last time.
All at PTMC extend our condolences to his family, at a very sad time, and I know that words cannot reflect how they, and indeed many of us that came to know him as a good and faithful friend, feel at this moment.
“DWW” may have gone from us, but in another way he will never be gone from us. There seems little justice that such a good man should depart this life so prematurely, but he leaves much that will never be forgotten.
Funeral arrangements are as follows (courtesy of Lyn Jenkins & Dliys Trevethick):
