    Dearest Gavin Family, Sending you warmth through these trying times. Mr Gavin stopped by everytime he walked past our house in the evenings and always had a witty comment or a kind message to share before putting his earphones back on to continue on his way. Treasure the memories. Heartfelt condolences to all of you, Tracy and family
