Poetic Obituaries: Mark [Holmes] described [Russell Holmes'] his father's

great love of art, saying: "His art room in St David's oozed his enthusiasm for teaching.

"Each corner of his art room would have projects being built.

"He loved teaching and his pupils loved being taught by him."

In a letter to the family, Gareth Williams said of Mr. Holmes: "He was a multi talented man, actor, poet and a wonderful teacher and academic. Schools like St David's became like they were because of teachers like Russell."
