One of lifes proper nice guys.
First knew Gary through work and then on a personal level as many years went by. Couldnt wish to meet a nicer man. Sincere condolences to all his family and especially Loni who he said meant the world to him.

Such sad news, I remember Mr & Mrs Richards from when my son was at St. Margaret's with their daughter Ruby.
Gary, one of my oldest and closest friends, I will miss reminiscing some of our youth and early adventurers with you. In true form you fought to the end but, you are now at peace.
I will miss you dearly but, you will live on in my memory, and Im sure well meet again at the final RV.

Rest easy my friend.x

So sorry for your loss.

Thanks for being a great uncle over the years and all the trips away we went on camping and to Newquay. I will cherish these forever as some of my favourite memories!

Thanks for being there in some of my hard times, and always being there when I needed to come round.

Love you always xxx
