IT IS WITH GREAT SADNESS THAT SEINDORF ARIAN ABERYSTWYTH
SILVER BAND ANNOUNCES THE UNTIMELY
DEATH OF DR. TUDOR JENKINS
It
is with great sadness that Seindorf
Arian Aberystwyth Silver Band
announces the untimely death of Dr.
Tudor Jenkins who passed away on the
morning of Tuesday 3rd
November 2009.
Dr.
Jenkins who hailed from Treherbert in
the Rhondda
Valley, the heart of Welsh Brass Banding
will be remembered as a fine
musician who inspired respect and as
a loyal servant of the Band, to
which our gratitude exceeds words,
forever indebted to ensuring its
survival through twenty six years of
dedicated and unfaltering
commitment.
A
true “bandsman” in every way,
Tudor will be truly missed and never
forgotten by those who knew him, and
whose tireless efforts as Secretary
and tuba player may never be
surpassed.
The
Band’s thoughts and prayers are
with his wife Susan, daughter Bethan,
two sons Morgan and Meurig and their
family and friends.
The
Band observed a minutes silence at
the beginning of its rehearsal on
Tuesday 3rd November at
7.30pm. This was followed by
the hymn tune 'All in the April
Evening' played in memory of Dr. Tudor Jenkins.
The Band played at Tudor's funeral
held on Tuesday 10th November at St.
Michael's Church, Llandre.
