CROMPTON, Glenn Eric Gavin. 24 September 1973 - 2 June 2012. After a long and courageous fight, our dearly beloved son, brother, fiance, uncle, great uncle, nephew, cousin and friend will be deeply and sadly missed by all of us whose lives were privileged and blessed by knowing him. Glenn will always be thought of every day, loved every day and missed every day. A courageous man, an amazing man, once held back by his wheelchair will now run fast and fly free, our dear brother buzz. Godspeed and a safe trip. Mum, Dad, Debora, Tania, Alan, Sharne, Joe and Kale, Lisa, Jason, Holly, Sam and Livia, Leonie, Rick, Stevie, Rickie, Kuparangi and Maia- Leigh. Glenn's family would like to sincerely thank Glenn's beautiful caregivers, Trish, Evelyn and Christina for all their kind and loving care, also the care of Dr Aitken, the wonderful staff at Waihi Medical Centre, the district nurses and hospice nurses and Dr Spencer Heald, Anna and dear Erina who have all helped Glenn along on his journey to freedom. Our family would also like to thank all their dear friends and family for their love, support and friendship over the years. Their input into Glenn's life was invaluable, magic.
