CAERNARFON

WINSTON ANTHONY ROBERTS: Passed away suddenly yet peacefully at his home in Caernarfon surrounded by his loving family on August 9th 2016, aged 75 years. Beloved husband of Andrea and loving father to sons Peter & Michael, father in law to Adrian & Llinos and devoted grandad / taid to his grandsons, Sion, Hari, Tomos, and Llyr. Winston was born in Bangor on the 14th December 1940, the youngest son of the late Evan & Elsie Roberts. Brother to the late, John (Jackie) Gwendoline, Joseph, Richard, and Voilet. He was originally from Llanrug and was bought up at 3, Glan Moelyn, until his marriage in 1966, when he moved to Caernarfon. Winston was educated at Ysgol Llanrug and his working career spanned over a period of many years, HGV driving, in Welsh Water / Dwr Cymru, in the Construction Industry and latterly until his retirement in Civil Engineering. He also worked for a short while in Ferodo factory in Caernarfon, where his late father-in-law, Peter Sayer was one of the key personnel opening the factory in 1962. He met Andrea in 1964 and they later married in 1966. Winston was a keen fisherman in fact it was his passion and would find the sea wherever we went travelling in the country. Even on our annual visits to his favourite island of Malta his portable fishing rod had to be packed and he would join the locals and get chatting away about the species of fish on their shores. He also was a bit of an historian in the way he got involved in sourcing out the history of different cultures and was always ready to tell a good story. Winston was a family man through and through and his sudden death has left a large void in our lives and he will be sadly missed by his family and friends alike. An illness bourne bravely over many years, he had the ability to soldier on in the face of adversity, never complaining, he was an inspiration to us all. Winston was cremated at Bangor Crematorium on the 26th August, following a service led by The Rev’d Gwynfor Williams and The Rev’d Canon Robert Townsend. The organist was Dr. William H. Munro. Bearers were Peter & Michael Roberts, (sons); Adrian Pepper, Sion & Hari Roberts (son-in-law and grandson).
