Dear Laura and Family
Deepest sympathy at this very sad time. Gavin was a super human being!!! My memories go back to the Ohauiti school bus days and the shenanigans that occurred on that trip every day!!! Then there was the Hayman Hall dances - Gav was quite the star!!!! Hold tight to the memories and always remember Gavin lived for those he loved and those he loved will always remember. Love Judy Kirchner (née Aitken).
