Howard I loved it when you used to come up to Libanus office prior to COVID19 with the staff and chat away to me in my office often  staying for a cuppa and biscuit.

You always lit up a room and would have us all in tears of laughter. Telling  me all about the staff and what you had been up to. All the staff had nicknames 😀

Those beautiful eyes and smile could make any day better .I had the pleasure of supporting you in the community during the summer of 2019 when Chris and I covered some hands on shifts at Gellideg. Your knowledge of the area was amazing.  Who needs a stat nav when your in the car. Everyone new you in the local community the day we stopped in the local chip shop in Ystrad even the lady behind the counter used to work with you .Being from Carmarthen myself we would talk about places in West Wales and your family.

We spent many days going for drives in the car , heading up to Brecon one evening. I would turn and look at you and the smile on your face spoke a thousand words making me realise why I came into care and how the small things in life were so important.

You would comment on the mountains and the farm animals often making jokes about the cows and sheep so many stories to tell me . We would stop at the car show room on the way back home and you would point out to the cars you liked and always wished to have. 

You will be solely missed by the staff at Gellideg and will always be in our thoughts.

Rest in peace Howard taken far to soon xx
