Poetic Obituaries: [Stewart Jones, nee Stewart Whyte McEwan,] won the

prestigious reciting prize Gwobr Goffa Llwyd o'r Bryn at the National Eisteddfod twice.

Former Welsh Heritage Minister Alun Ffred Jones, who worked with him, said he was a larger than life character and a good and talented actor.

"In the heyday of the local and national eisteddfodau he was a brilliant reciter . . . possibly the best reciter of Welsh language poetry which was maybe his best accomplishment," he added.
