RIP Gav

R.I.P. Gav - 21/9/2011 - Our beloved Gavin Larkin passed away this afternoon at 3.28pm. He was surrounded by his family and the love that he has created. He will never be forgotten for who he was, how he lived and what he has left behind. I know I speak on behalf of all that knew him when I say Gav, thank you for being you. The world is a better place for having had you in it.
The Larkin family would like to thank everybody who has contributed to this blog. The messages have been a constant source of support and wonderful memories that the family will cherish forever. They have been overwhelmed by all the good wishes, lovely words, food & flowers. The community around Gavin, Maryanne, Gus, Josie and Van has been wonderful and made an enormous difference. Thank you to all.

May we suggest, if you would like to offer further support, in lieu of flowers, please make a donation to one of the following nominated causes: RUOK? Day Donations or Cure For Life

I could go o....Ok that'll do.

Biff, i miss you every day already, i cry about losing you, about you and your beautiful family losing each other. I still just cannot believe this is happening.

"Get over it" I can hear you barking back !

The cavernous hole you will leave in so many lives as reflected by the beautiful words put forward on the blog by all that know you(and some that don't) , will be enormous.Speaking to you the other day, it should have come as no surprise how calm you seemed, declaring you had" lived enough for two lives" in the time you have had on this earth.

I will find you up there one day mate, i want to see a full head of hair, real teeth and that 1974 Penrith checklist I still require to complete said set.

Myself & Sharon, Jack , Alice and Deborah all send our love in absolute bucketloads to you, Maz , J-Pussycat and Van. To the GMan, fighting his own wretched battle, we send even more!!

You will always be an inspiration to me and so many others my man, and,while I believe that we all re-unite one day, til then, words cannot possibly measure just how much I will miss you.
