Cherished brother of Julie, special brother-in-law of Mike and Jackie, brother and golf buddy of Alan (dec), much loved by his nieces and nephews, John, Sarah, Jeremy, Anna, Alistair, Nicola and all their families.

Sad to read of Gavin's death he made one milestone & the age is only a number.
Remember the good memories.

Dear Diana and Family
Our deepest sympathy to you all. We know how much you will miss Gavin. He was a very special person.
He was in my class at Tech. He was very bright scholastically and he ran a top Accounting Business.
God bless.
Love to you all.
