FOND farewells were paid to the Rev John Roberts on his retirement as minister of the Harmoni Chapel, Pencaer.
Born in 1925, Rev Roberts received his education at Goodwick School and then at the County School, Fishguard.
At 15 years of age he began working at Trecwn and then, in 1943, he joined the Navy. He remained at sea until mid 1946. On his return he began teaching in Birmingham and then at Fishguard Primary School.
Rev Roberts retired from the teaching profession after a quarter of a century and then applied to become a minister.
In 1996, he received a call to become a part-time minister at Harmoni Chapel, Pencaer.
He held his last service on April 26, and thanked his family for their endless support and wished the new minister well.
