TONY WARE-R.I.P

Roger Knight25 Mar 2016 - 11:10

Dunvant R.F.C. are sad to announce that Club stalwart Tony Ware passed away peacefully this morning at Morriston hospital after a short illness.

Tony, aged 80 and married twice, leaves 3 children from his first marriage, Caroline, Robert and Jane, along with Amy and Matthew from his second marriage. A loving father, he also leaves grandchildren and great grandchildren to mourn his passing..

Tony played all his rugby as a talented outside half at Swansea Uplands R.F.C. where he later became Chairman for 6 years. Son Robert also played for the Ups. Tony then switched his allegiance to Dunvant Rugby Club where son Matthew quickly established himself as a star winger for our 1st XV. Tony, a man of high integrity became a big supporter of our club and has followed us for several years even though Matthew is no longer playing.
Matthew is now following a career in medical research in Texas. Daughter Amy is scheduled to marry Dunvant 1st XV lock forward Hayden Baldwin in a just a few week’s time and they will be saddened that Tony will no longer be with them for this big chapter in their lives.

Condolences from all at Dunvant R.F.C. to Tony’s family, he will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Funeral arrangements will be advised when known
