Tributes Paid to “Gentleman” Gwynedd Councillor Eirwyn Williams After Years of “Faithful” Service

Tributes have been paid to a “gentleman” Gwynedd councillor who has died after years of “faithful” service to his community.
Councillor Eirwyn Williams, who had represented the Criccieth ward on Cyngor Gwynedd since 2012, passed away last week.
He was a current member and former chair of the Language Committee at the council, and was also a member of the Dwyfor Area Committee.
He was also involved with other committees and working groups.
Cyngor Gwynedd also described him as a “loyal” member of Criccieth Town Council for more than 45 years.
He was described as a “strong supporter” of the work to build a new primary school in the town and was a former governor of Ysgol Treferthyr.
Councillor Medwyn Hughes, Chair of Cyngor Gwynedd, said: “We heard with sadness about the passing of Councillor Eirwyn Williams.
“Eirwyn was a gentleman who served his area faithfully for many years.
“He was a friend to many and highly regarded among councillors across the council.
“He always wanted the best for his area and for the county.
“We are thinking of his family in their bereavement.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
