Sending my love and condolences to the family.
Uncle Gavin I wish I took more opportunities to visit with my boys over the years that flew by. To let them experience the same memories I have as a child, drawing with the white stones in your driveway, driving down the river with flood water pouring in every crack of your little Suzuki, the numerous fishing and yabby trips you did with mum and dad, the story dad spoke of last time we saw you about the both of you sitting in the pub at the bar detangling a gill net makes me laugh. Letting me be the first on Easter to pick all the good lollies you brought around-this always made me feel so special. These memories will be cherished with me forever. Rest easy uncle Gav, Love always from Dotty and the Telford family.

Dear Jan & families
Please accept our sincere condolences on the loss of your gorgeous Son, Brother, Friend.
Our thoughts are with you during these difficult times. Remember the fond memories. We will never forget the yell from Gav in a booming voice from across the road saying good morning to us both on our way to work. Making a joke about he should start walking too. :) Take care everyone.
