The obituary notice of William (Billy) HOWELLS

In loving memory of Billy Howells, a great football player, friend and decorator who loved playing for Boston United. You will be sadly missed by many Bill.

That lovely smiling face was a picture to see. Great guy, great decorator and always greeted you with "is the kettle on". Lovely memories of you Billy you will be sadly missed. Love to your family, Tina and Dave Coulam, Valam Builders xx

I echo the thoughts of so many others: Billy was truly one of life’s great characters and a real gentleman - a hardworking, honest man who would help anyone without hesitation, provided there was a plentiful supply of tea or coffee and biscuits.

The attached photographs perfectly capture his ever-present smile. Billy was always pleased to see you; a visit was never complete without the kettle going on and cake or biscuits being presented.

We shared many good times on the squash court, followed by even better ones in the bar afterwards. An understated artisan with a paintbrush, his philosophy was simple: “You can have any colour you like, Spud - as long as it’s magnolia, with white ceilings.”

My sincere condolences to William, Grace, and Rebecca. Rest in peace Bill, my memories of you will live on.

Great memories of halcyon days gone by, many laughs along the way.
Condolences and deepest sympathy to all the family,
Jacqui & Pat
