Dear Gav,
What a mad, crazy, energetic, chaotic storm you were to my earlier life. It’s hard to imagine you gone now. Though we lost contact since Australia the bond we formed back then was easily lasts this distance. And besides – I have a crooked nose to remind me in the mirror of 2 broken noses attained in your defence on two of our various mad escapades.
Farewell Gav, I’ll miss you.
Boog.
Gav,
You have left a hole in may lives this week mate. I will always remember a cheery, cheeky grin, a quick quip and a fierce determination to keep your smile the right way up. Many good times enjoyed with your support of our music over the years. Thanks man. Check in work you down the track .
Bugger. Where ever you are now my friend, it just became a whole lot more fun! Your smile and laughter will never be forgotten. Your friendship was always unconditional and always available. It’s a sad time, however all I can do is smile as I remember the good times. Rest easy big fella, save a seat by the fire for when we meet again. Love Simon & Ben
