For those who do'nt know, Nick Thorne was a local Llanelli boy, with an estate agents office in Murray Street.
Nick died last year of cancer , and has been sadly missed by his family , friends and a multitude of clients, who he either sold a property for or introduced to a vendor , prior to sale. This is the category I found myself in 13 years ago entering his office , looking forward property. We were soon talking football, discussing the fortunes of Swans and the Reds. I found Nick one of the most honest, kind and compassionate people, and we became increasingly friendly. So grateful to him, and it was only through him, we we now happily in our present home. Next Sat at 8.00pm there is a memorial evening at the Llanesco club , Station Road hosted by the Rev Eldon. Phillips, guest starring former Wales, Crystal Palace, Leeds Utd, Bristol City, Cardiff City , Newport County and Swansea city footballer Terry Boyle. Terry made an incredible 550 football league appearances. His Wales caps were restricted to three , partly through the quality of players like Mike England. Terry is a former Llanelli Grammar School product, where he played centre, before switching to football. It will beca very intresting evening for sure. The cause is most impotent of all.. Marie Curie, who have for years nursed those in need . I have known several families with terminally ill members , who would never have coped without them It's truly a wonderful organisation that deserves our support. |
