Lyn, Michelle, Craig, Paul, Juliette and your families. I was so very sad to hear of Gary's passing, and in shock that you have lost him at still what I call a young age. I will always have fond memories of our jet boating days, they were the best times and we always had a heap of fun that's for sure. I'm sorry I can't make it to the service, but you will be in my thoughts. Mum read me her poem about Gary, love it! Cherish the memories of all the fun times over the years you all had as the tight nit Hickford family you were and still are x
