From the sculptor's website: 'Dic was born in a small cottage overlooking the sea at Moelfre, Anglesey. His father, William Evans, was a sea captain and member of the Moelfre lifeboat crew, as was Dic's uncle and both his grandfathers. Dic himself left the village to join a coaster's crew when he was 14, and soon rose through the ranks as a seaman. He returned to Moelfre to run a butcher's business and married farmer's daughter Nansi. Dic and Nansi had three sons, Derek, David and William. In 1954 Dic was asked to became coxswain of the Moelfre lifeboat after his uncle, John Matthews, retired. Uncle John was also awarded a silver RNLI medal.' The statue was unveiled by Prince Charles.
