WendronOfficial Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 It is with deep sadness and regret that we inform you that club chairman, Kevin Williamson, passed away on the afternoon of Sunday 3rd February. Kevin has helped build the club to what we have today, not just from a footballing perspective, but also cricket and the community as a whole. He will be deeply missed by all and the many roles he played in making our club successful will be near on impossible to fill. We send all our love to his family at this time. His children: Adam, Claire and Simon all represented the club in both football and cricket. Once more, we would like to thank all who were so prompt and quick with their responses and administering first aid at the scene, and then to the Air Ambulance, paramedics and all of the professionals who were first class in their support. Saturday’s first team fixture on Saturday at home to Liskeard will still go ahead; however the second, third and fourth team games have been postponed. We extend a warm invite and welcome to Kevin’s family, friends and all that knew him. We will be having a minute’s silence in his honour and we will not be collecting any gate receipts; instead we will be collecting donations for the Air Ambulance who, along with the paramedics, were fantastic in their response and support yesterday. We will be raising a glass in Kevin's honour in the clubhouse after the game. The game will kick off at 2pm as it is the Quarter Final of the Cornwall Charity Cup. Kevin will be forever in our hearts and will be forever a part of the Wendron family. Mr Mo, Paul, Mike Odgers and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Deacon Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Very sorry to hear this news. I'd only met Kevin a handful of times but he always welcomed me to the club and one could instantly see and hear his passion for the whole set-up there at Wendron. I know he will be greatly missed at the club and condolences go to his family and friends. RIP Kevin Dave Deacon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff's Telling Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) I remember coming to watch my club Callington Town win at Wendron in an epic Senior Cup game, to reach the cup semi final a few years ago - and was very pleased to see Wendron reach the semis this weekend - well done ! How dreadful to now hear of the sad passing of your inspirational chairman - it must be a hammer blow to his family, and of course your club.
