A Proud Welshman and Athlete
Geraint was the embodiment of Welsh pride. Born and raised in Wales, he carried his heritage in everything he did. His love for his country was evident in his active participation in Welsh sports, especially in his notable contributions to the Commonwealth Games. Geraint’s athleticism came full circle when he participated in both the 1958 Commonwealth Games in Cardiff and the 2022 Games in Birmingham. At the 2022 Games, he was honored as a local hero, with people eager to meet the man who had once carried the Commonwealth flame over 50 years ago.
This return to the Games was a triumphant moment for Geraint, a symbol of pride and tradition. He cherished this moment, reflecting on his past with his son at the Twelve Knights pub in Margam, a place filled with fond memories.
A Devoted Family Man
While Geraint’s sporting achievements were extraordinary, it was his devotion to his family that truly defined him.

Geraint was immensely proud of his two sons, offering them quiet pride in their accomplishments. His nurturing presence helped shape the men they became, passing on values of love, integrity, and dedication.

He also shared a special bond with his daughters-in-law, Frances and Anwen, whom he regarded as integral members of his family. Geraint welcomed everyone into his life with kindness, offering support and care to all who crossed his path.
A Life of Service and Community Involvement
Geraint’s professional career in banking, initially with National Provincial Bank and later with NatWest, took him to various locations, but it was always his love for Ann that grounded him, ultimately leading him to settle in Carmarthenshire. Outside of work, Geraint was an active member of his community. He enjoyed playing bowls, participating in quizzes, attending rugby games, and singing in the local choir. His enthusiasm for these activities was contagious, and his involvement brought him closer to his neighbors and friends.
Geraint also cherished the time spent with Ann at their caravan in Aberystwyth and New Quay. These peaceful retreats were a place for reflection and reconnection, away from the demands of daily life. It was in these moments of tranquility that Geraint felt most at home.

His family and community will forever honor the values he instilled in them—values of love, dedication, and commitment.
For his son, Geraint’s quiet pride in his career as a night photographer will remain a cherished memory. His constant support and the familiar question, “Where do you get all the energy from?” will forever echo in his heart, reminding him of the incredible father who always believed in him.
