Dr Russell Rhys, formerly GP for Caerleon but much better known in later years for his patronage of the arts has died at the age of 85 following a short illness.
The village of which he was such a flamboyant resident is coming to terms with the loss of one who for over 40 years has been at the centre of its collective story.
Russell Rhys (the name was later changed from the anglicised Rees) was born near Llanelli, the son of a coal miner.

He was a friend of HUGE importance in my life - and that of my husband. We are struck with great loss today having heard from his daughter.
The Angels will have their hands full with you Russell Bach. You were a good man and a big one in every sense - you were fearless. We shall always love you! R.I.P.
