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

Hi Gav,

Don't know if you remember me, but I was there the day you won the green jacket back in the Hunter Valley many, many moons ago. You took it in a one hole playoff. And still had the common decency to remove your false teeth in celebration of the win. It's a day, and a part of my life I will never, every forget. Richie Braun was kind enough to share with me the incredibly episode of Australian Story. I don't really know what to say here. Other than to thank you for showing me what a real man, husband and father looks like. I wish there were something I could do to help you, and I'm certain that is as common a refrain as it is, ultimately, useless. But please know that you have inspired me, mate. And, by watching you, I have re-learned to appreciate all the wonderful things I have, rather than obsess over the one I don't. Thanks for that, Gavin. And please know that you will not be forgotten.

Sincerely,

Raggs
