Funeral details have been confirmed following the death of a well-known community figure in Lichfield.
Tim Wellings had previously been chairman of St Mary’s Heritage Centre, a former Lichfield Ale Taster and a long-standing member of Lichfield Operatic Society.
He was also a coach at Lichfield Swimming Club in the 1970s and was a member of Lichfield Bowls Club.
His daughter Megan Dunmore told Lichfield Live her father had still been a familiar face in the city until his death, aged 98.
“Until the last weeks of his life, he was often seen with his family at the Lichfield Guildhall, Lichfield Rugby Club or enjoying a pint of beer in his favourite pub, The Horse and Jockey.
“His energy and enthusiasm, booming laugh and trademark handlebar moustache will be sorely missed by many who knew and loved him in Lichfield.”

Tim’s funeral will be held at 11am on 3rd December at St Michael’s Church,where he was Churchwarden for a number of years, with a “send off” afterwards at Lichfield Rugby Club.
“Friends are welcome to join the family in bidding this extraordinary Lichfeldian farewell.”

Theo was a much loved and valued resident at Beacon Park Village. So sad that he didn’t make it to this year’s Remembrance commemoration bearing in mind his wartime service in the RAF. He will be greatly missed by all his friends here.
Amazing gentleman, much missed.
Well remembered for his cheerful personality, always left you feeling today was a better day. Will miss you Tim, gone to join your bomber crew. Happy to have shared musical times with you. Harry Goss & family
