Thanks Gary for everything you brought to the family. Not just your energy and sense of fun (and terrible sense of humour), but also your pragmatism, kindness and patience. You’re going to leave a massive space that will be difficult to fill, but we all have so many memories of truly happy times together, and they will never fade. Sending so much love to Heather, Charlie, Emily, Dan, Molly and Ellie Val xxx

Only recently had we managed to spend some time together (thank god we spoke so often on the phone) and I wish there were more good times ahead, for us both. Your kindness knew no bounds and I will be very grateful to you for that. Especially when I told you about my cancer. We both laughed our heads off when you mentioned how lucky we are and I suggested he buy a lottery ticket after he has rubbed that quid in my hands. So funny. I miss that humour already. Rest assured I will continue your tradition of laughing at your own jokes ( I do it too) and remain positive because you told me that daily. You have the most beautiful family who will forever miss you. Xxxx
