His daughter Bethan has taken to social media to express her gratitude of the stories already being shared with the family.
She said [via ITV ]: "Dad (Dai Davies) has had exceptional care at the Royal Hospital Liverpool recently after being diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas.
"Gareth, Rhian and myself are now able to see him daily as he has been transferred to Nightingale House, Wrexham.
