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

Alan Obrart

Hi Gavin,
This is Alan Obrart here, maybe you remember me, I was a good mate of Barrys, and Maureen, from the mid sixties, at the Beresford road flat, we worked together at Clyde industries, met Peter and Margaret Brennan, then staid close thru his other consulting adventures, till the end, at the Balmoral Beach flat, and the wake party, at Bronte Hotel, Maureen crying on my shoulder after Doug Wrights little speech---we agreed ---neither of us clearly understood the bastard we loved.
What a man, what a mixture, what a very good mate to me,
His stories to me of his childhood, with his dad Tom and was it VI his ex mum ? showed such light on him and what he was,
Anyhow enough of that,
I heard about your R U OK work on the ABC radio, 702, Makka, Sunday morning, Australia all over,
---what fantastic work you are doing----strength to you-----I have no idea if I can help you and your team in any way---volunteering ?
Anyhow, good luck,
Alan Obrart
