He was our social butterfly.  He made sure he had a lot of time for people, and never judged others.”  Anyone with any information which could help the investigation should contact South Wales Police by calling 101, emailing swp101@south-wales.police.uk, or online at south-wales.police.uk/ro/report, quoting the reference 2300022718.
