My deepest condolences to your family at this time, my whananu especially my mum leanne and grandmother jenny had alot of time and respect and love for Gav, he was a hugely supportive character in anyone's life.

I remember running around port view bowling club with them playing bowls in the background (only little at the time) but he was always the nicest person, always saying hello and had the best hugs that'll definitely be missed .

My deepest condolences once again to all his whanau
