Rhodri Morgan writes: Like John Smith, a son of a schoolmaster, Gareth was brought up in the school house of Mostyn in the north-east corner of Wales. Only last Friday I was driving down the Dee estuary coast road from Prestatyn back to Cardiff. Quite unaware of the possibility of any misfortune, I looked up to the hilltop and thought of Gareth growing up in the schoolhouse with an eagle-eye view over the Wirral and Merseyside. The values he would have absorbed from his upbringing never left him: the protestant work ethic, meritocracy, pride in Wales and the Welsh education system, democracy and the importance of paying back your debt to society. When he left his legal career 10 years ago to enter the Lords, he threw himself into frontbench Labour politics as Lords spokesman on Welsh affairs and other portfolios, first in opposition, then in government. His charm, wit and humour were crucial in talking round a sometimes reluctant House of Lords into accepting the principle of the government legislative proposals coming from the Commons. These skills made him one of the great Labour leaders of the Lords. His one unfulfilled dream was to stand for office in Wales for a seat in a reformed upper house. Although a loyal member of Tony Blair's cabinet, he never hid his wish for a democratic upper house. Welsh public life and British politics will miss him because, as with John Smith, the best was yet to come. Gareth Williams 2017 (incorrect year?)
