Dawn presents her cheque to the Crew on 25th May 2009.
Maldwyn was a Loving Husband, Father and Grandfather, born and raised in the
small fishing Village of Aberdaron on the Lyn, North Wales, Maldwyn met Viv and
moved to Cheadle, Cheshire to live and raise there two children Haydn & Dawn.
2 years ago Maldwyn moved back to the Lyn to finish his working life on the sea
where he always wanted to be, he loved his new job as a Whelk Fisherman and
always came home with a smile on his face after a hard days work.
Unfortunately on the 28th April on a cold afternoon, the big man upstairs
decided he had plans for Maldwyn, we got the call that his boat had been found
with no-one on board going round in circles just off Trefor point and a huge sea
and air rescue began with the life boats from Porthdinllaen and Trearddur Bay
and Rescue 122 from RAF Valley was scrambled. Mobile coastguards from
Porthdinllaen & Llandwrog made shoreline searches and local fishermen joined
later in the evening. It was five weeks before the sea brought him home and his
family finally laid him to rest on the 28th June 2008.
Well done Dawn - a fitting tribute, your father
would have been very proud of you.
