Kevin Uglow

Kevin joined our team at Walking With The Wounded in 2015 taking the role of Office Administrator and immediately became a much admired and respected member of our staff. Alongside his love for music and talent for playing the organ, he swiftly became passionate with his interest in working to support those who served. 

 

Many of you will have met him and enjoyed his company at various WWTW events, most notably the Cumbrian Challenge where he was instrumental in ensuring the event was a huge success and enjoyed by everyone in attendance. No job was too small for Kevin to help with and always done with a smile. We consider it to be a very fortunate day the day Kevin joined the charity. 

 

Kevin was committed to helping others and he often worked tirelessly late into the night, for he always wanted to be certain no detail or person had been forgotten. 

 

He will be very much remembered by all of the team at Walking With The Wounded and to say he will be missed is an understatement.

RIP Dear Kevin Always at the end of the phone to help with any issues or questions.  Or indeed a conversation about the up and downsides of owning big dogs, a shared love. Will be remembered as a super helpful colleague, who will be greatly missed by me both professionally and personally. Condolences to Kevin’s family.   …

Kevin, I hope you are chuckling somewhere, with a glass of something nice and cold, as we muddle around without you.  Thank you for being our unconditional ‘go to’ person with a solution for everything – no problem was ever too big or too small. Also for quietly, but always so diligently, ‘keeping our wheels turnng’, no more so than in this last 18 months. Rest in peace Kevin x …

Hi Kevin, I can hear you muttering about the fuss we’re making. I can see your wry smile. I can picture you popping out front for a smoke where we’d so often stand and talk, put the world to rights and chuckle at a mishap. You were, you are, an unsung hero of the organisation. Always so happy so help oil the wheels, never complaining, always pitching in. I’ll miss our long drives to the Lakes, the shared hard work and satisfaction of delivering the Cumbrian Challenge from first load into the van until the last item had been unloaded on our return. You were like three men. Aided by your desire to do things properly. Your ability to drive and drive while I tapped and tapped on the laptop before we both refilled on black black coffee to keep us going after Brian had kept us up late in the night post event. But you knew the importance of spending time with him to say thank you for his efforts. You knew how to keep people happy with the small things. And that will be hugely missed. I hope you rest in peace and are busy getting the …

Kevin truly was WWTW through and through.  Such a hard-working & dedicated man.  Whenever I reached out to him for help he would have the solution.  Patient, kind & caring- he’ll be a big miss. …

Heather Saunders

Oh Kevin – our Mr Cumbria!  You were one of the few people at WWTW who helped absolutely everyone in the Charity, whether it be IT issues, stationery requests, PAT testing or just being the one to pick up the phone at HQ.  Thank you for all your help, your patience and good humour.  You will be greatly missed by everyone, every day; but I think especially at Cumbria.  You were the glue holding it all together, working tirelessly, and it just won’t be the same without you.  Rest in peace my friend – you won’t be forgotten. xx …

Kevin, you made me feel welcome from the moment I started at Stody and I soon discovered that you were the kind of person who would go out of his way to help people – whether it was work-related or not. I miss our regular “patio sessions” when we used to put the World to rights and I miss you old friend. Rest in peace …

Fergus Williams

Kevin,  Thank you for your loyalty, time and friendship.  Your willingness to get involved in all areas and support the wider team was immense. You were always happy to face up to problems with solutions and a smile on your face.  You will be greatly missed by all and especially by me. Thank you Kevin.  Fergus   …

Amy Franklin

Our Kevin, it is so very strange and very sad without you in Stody and the WWTW family won’t be the same without you. Thank you for everything, Kevin. You used to say that your job was to keep the WWTW wheels in motion and you carried out that role with absolute dedication. As we return to office I suspect the days will be scattered with little reminders of you; the sneaking of non-PAT tested heaters to those that were cold, restocking me with the four-colour pens you new I loved (even though they were more expensive than the others) & the 5pm shout for “any more post?”. We will remember you fondly with each and every one. It was a pleasure to work with you, Kevin. Rest in peace. …

I had the pleasure of working alongside Kevin for 61/2 years and I can truly say that in all that time I never heard him complain or utter a cross word.  Kevin was a true gentleman in every sense of the word.  No job was too big and you always knew that whatever you asked of him he would rise to above and beyond the call of duty.  There have been so many ways he has supported me of the years – too many to put into words. The world is a poorer place without you but I take some comfort in knowing that when we are struggling with something in the office or at an event you will be looking down stroking your beard and shaking your head with a cheeky smile. Rest in peace dear friend. …

Kevin was one of the first people I spoke to at WWTW, and he was always so friendly and willing to help with any mail/IT/computer issues with a lot of patience! He embodied the spirit of WWTW, always jumping in to help wherever he could with a good dose of humour included. Kevin has left a huge hole and will be greatly missed.  …
