Tributes as N.wales cab boss Huw dies

TRIBUTES have been paid to a popular taxi company boss who died suddenly at the age of 64.

Huw Edwards (below) had run Tacsis Huw in the Caernarfon area for many years, and hundreds of messages of sympathy and support for his family have been posted online following his death.

His eldest son Robat said: “We are very proud of Huw and what he achieved in his life and he was a great father and a very special grandfather.

“We have received many many messages of sympathy and are aware of the support shown to us online and these are of great comfort to us.”

In a poignant message posted online, Robat added that his father was “a little guy with a big heart” and said: “There is only one Huw Taxi.”

In his own tribute to his father, Mr Edwards’ son Dafydd said: “Heaven is a much richer place today. The best Father, Friend and Grandfather we could ever have had. (He has) left us far too soon.”

Tacsis Huw carried hundreds of people around the Caernarfon area and further afield during a typical week, and many of the tributes posted online are from those who have benefitted from the service offered by Mr Edwards and his drivers.

Some said simply: “Cwsg yn dawel Huw.” (Rest in Peace)

Many also spoke of the kindness extended to them by Mr Edwards.
