It is with great sadness that we announce the untimely death of our Hon. Secretary Geraint Morris. Geraint passed away peacefully on Saturday December 12th 2009 after an illness that was courageously bourne. Geraint was an active and respective member of the community and worked tirelessly as Secretary of the Silurian Choir for over 30 years and represented the choir with distinction on the committee of the Welsh Association of Male Voice Choirs aspiring to the position of President. He was also a founder member and Secretary of the Rhymney Millennium Chorale.He will be sadly missed by his family and many friends. Geraint's funeral will take place on Friday December 18th 2009 at Zoar Chapel, Pontlottyn at 1.15pm followed by burial at Brithdir Cemetery at 2.00pm. No flowers by request but donations in lieu will be gratefully accepted for Helping Hands, Rhymney and Velindre Hospital: c/o Ann Davies, Old School House, Fochriw CF81 9JN. We express our deepest sympathy and condolences to his beloved wife Diane and his children Beth and Tomos.
