One of the event organisers, Marc O’Kelly, Curriculum Leader for Sport at Gower College along with Keith’s wife Debra, daughter Natasha, brother Ian and son in law to be Matthew Lowe visited Ty Olwen to present a cheque to trustees Delyth Gough and Paul Murray. Keith’s brother Ian said that “he had never seen so many people at the club before, all who had come to support the family”. Debra added that the family “had been overwhelmed when family and friends had donated over £1,700 in lieu of flowers at the time of his funeral and were totally amazed and grateful for the support received for this event”. A similar event has already been pencilled in for May 2015.
