Mr William "Bill" Smith

hans5.jpgBill was born in January 1921 in Kenilworth , He was the eldest child and had a sister Janice and a younger brother David. He completed school and volunteered for the RAF. He joined an operational squadron in early 1943 flying Hurricanes. Later he was then transferred to the central flying school.

In 1946 he joined the Prudential Assurance company. He met his wife Jenny whilst commuting into Coventry from Leamington and they bought the house they were to live in for the next 52 years in 1954.  Their son Jeremy and daughter Anita followed.  Will was a keen football player for Manuden after the war, he also loved Cricket and had played for Manuden for many years.

He and Jenny loved to travel and after their retirement were often off on another cruise to see the world. Tragically Jenny passed away in 2004,Will sold the family house moving into Elmhurst Nursing home. His sudden death came as a great shock.

Thank you in advance all for your thought and donations, Jeremy and Chris, Anita and Tony and families
