I'm so sorry to hear this tragic news. I lived next door to Gary for a few years as a teenager growing up in Crowland. We used to get the school bus together. Many years have passed but I remember him even then as a very happy, positive person. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
Never Alone
We feel you in the morning
When at first we wake
Your thought is with us
With each decision we make
You’d been around forever
Since the first breath we took
Now we have to go on alone
But for love, we need not look
Because what you bestowed
In our short time together
Will last in our hearts
Forever and ever
Although you have left
And now walk above
We’re never alone
We’re wrapped in your love
You were in the armed forces
And battles were won
But stand down now soldier
Your duty is done
Dawn
