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 often think of the last time we met, having a meeting in the basement of the GPO building talking about RUOK day. There were two conversations going on. One between us and my employers HR reps,and, one totally in my head about how the hell can someone cope with even a third of what you were facing and be focussed on improving and saving other peoples lives. Much later and a lot courtesy of this site it seems to me that we can all be wrong about counting lives in years when we would be much better of counting the number of people whose lives we have changed and been a core part of. Gav, by that measure we are all very much humbled by you.
David
