Was fortunate to have known Dewi at Trinity College Carmarthen. A real gentleman who brought great honour. to the college and his country. His untimely death brought great sadness to all who new him.

I'm a ten year old rugby fan and Dewi Bebb was my great-uncle. Unfortunately he died when I was only three years old so I don't remember him but my Mum has very fond memories of her special uncle. I have to do a project at school this year and have chosen 'The life and times of Dewi Bebb', I'm finding out about his career and it is all very interesting and exciting, especially as the Welsh team are doing so well this season!

I met Dewi when he toured South Africa with the Lions as a young lad of thirteen before a match in Durban. He was my mother's (Ivy) cousin.

To say the least as a young kid I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the notoriety it gave me with my peers. Although a short meeting he seemed like a great guy.
