Slinger69 AKA Gwyn Jenkins

[Unframed Dave]

It is with a heavy heart that I have been asked by his wife Angela to let you all know that he died at 7 a.m. this morning.

Gwyn was in hospital at the time, due to various issues which I can relay to anyone who would like to know.

Gwyn was a legend of the bash and a great friend to many members on here.

Tonight I shall raise a glass of port to a much missed friend and those of you who know him well, will know exactly how I'll toast him.

I'm sure many of you have some fantastic memories of Gwyn, feel free to share, for his was genuinely a life to be celebrated.

RIP Gwyn.

Dave

Ah no, I’m saddened. The loss of a true gentleman and a real character for sure. He was also a friend who I first met at The Boinger Bash and spent numerous memorable occasions with him outside of that. My thoughts go to Angela and family for their loss.
I too will raise a glass to Gwyn tonight in a fashion he would definitely approve of.
R.I.P Gwyn.

Oh my god. Such sad news. Gwyn was a friend, true gentlemen and a legend.

My most sincere condolences to his family.

Rest in peace my friend.

Ah shit! It was his birthday last week or the week before and I tried to ring him. I guessed he was out and never got around to trying again. I had been hoping to pop in later this month

I’ll raise a glass or three in his honour

What a shame a true legend and an utter man of his time, condolences to his family.

[Chippendale]

A sad loss to his family and members of “The Bash”, a lovely chap and as has been said, a true gentleman. Fond memories of him of having a coffee “elevenses” with him one morning while he finished the previous evenings red, classic.

RIP Gwyn, friend.

I only met Gwyn once at a Boinger Bash and recall sitting round a fire with Gav ( Bluefan), Pat and Graham ( Valeboy ) all singing our hearts out or trying to sing and having a thoroughly good time last thing at night. A sad loss for his family and may he rest in peace.

My heart go's out to Gwyns family at this sad news. I didnt know Gwyn as well as many of the other bash members but the time that i did spend with him was full of laughs. A true character with an amazing way with words. RIP Gwyn.
