A warm funny and caring man.

A man who loved the city Liverpool and was Everton from when he could walk.

Definitely deserves his own thread.

My post transfered over from the Everton thread:

Ahh, I've just caught up with the Kenwright news.

That's really sad. I'm sorry to hear it.

All joking and rivalry aside, he seemed like a really decent and genuine man.

Condolences to his family and loved ones. ♥️💙

RIP Bill.

Really sad (and shocking) news. RIP Bill Kenwright.

Kennys from heaven · « **Reply #9 on:** October 24, 2023, 05:30:51 pm »

That's terrible news.

All jokes aside, from the outside it was obvious to anyone looking in that he was only ever interested in doing the right thing and loved that club. Definitly didn't deserve the vitriol that went his way and I hope that people keep a civil tongue in their mouths in the coming days.

RIP Bill,

He was always a beacon of common sense across the road that was drowned out by the nonsensical in the end.

I wouldn't begrudge them a result against Moyes' West Ham this weekend for Bill

RIP

Mrs. knew about this, this morning

Seemed like a really nice fella. Absolute shite the dogs abuse he got off some so-called Everton fans. Not sure he made all the right decisions, but his heart seemed in the right place.

RIP

R.I.P Bill Kenwright.

Loved his club and tried to do his best to compete in a league taken over by money.

He was incredible to the families of the Hillsborough disaster victims and what he said during memorial services transcends any rivalry. It's a sad day for Everton football club and the city.

'You've not just taken on the wrong city but you've taken on the wrong mum's. We all know about Liverpool mums because they will fight for their kids and their families '

Always stuck with me that

His heart was very definitely in the right place. A good scouser and proud man. Condolences to his family and friends.

RIP

RIP

Whatever you my think of him his heart was in the right place for the club he loved.

SamLad · « **Reply #16 on:** October 24, 2023, 05:45:40 pm »

losing Charlton and Kenwright within a few days makes you look around today's sport of football and realize how few truly decent people there are left.

RIP.

Sad news. Clearly loved Everton and as a fan with money, did his best for them. RIP Bill

Very sad news. Like others have said, he always acted with complete integrity towards us on the things that really matter. The blues might have been frustrated with him at times, but there's no doubt he always did what he believed was best for Everton FC.

RIP Bill.

RIP Bill - was always steadfast in his support in JFT97 and delivered a lovely speech at Anfield around a decade ago. YNWA

From The Bradley Lowery Foundation:

I am absolutely devastated to hear of the passing of Bill Kenwright, aka, Uncle Bill.

Bill was a huge part of Bradley’s fundraising journey. He donated £200,000.00 to Brad’s campaign to access treatment abroad.
That money then went into my baby’s amazing charity, on Uncle Bill say so.

He was an amazing gentleman, who went above and beyond to help me and my family after Bradley went with the angels, Bill made sure we had time to grieve away from media, and whisked my whole family away so we could spend time together without intrusion.

I had many long chats with Bill, always asking his advice, he was one in a million.

I will never forget what he did for us ❤️

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this very sad time.

Bradley will be waiting with his arms open ready to give you a big cuddle, like he did the first time he met you. Fly high Bill 😢

Sad news, a proper Evertonian , I was at the Hillsborough memorial service he spoke at.

Was always supportive during Hillsborough campaign.

I know we used to take the mickey but he was a true blue.
