Hello Gav,

Although we never really spent many hours together, the occasions that we did were always of top quality. After seeing Australian Story earlier in the week really brought back some fun times that we shared and embedded what a remarkable person that you are, lives that you have and will continue to touch for years to come.

Probably my favourite times was bumping into you whilst on the slopes at Thredbo. You were with your boys and I was fortunate to spend the next couple of hours skiing with you guys... It was a fast pace and really appreciate what a great sport Skiing is to enjoy with your family... The grin on your face seeing your kids fly down the mountain was memorable.

The other time that pops into the memory bank was 1 - Tonners club weekend in Melbourne to watch the French test with a great crew of boys. One of those memorable weekends, great stories, amazing friends and non stop laughter.

You are a special man.
