It was both an honour and a privilege to have spent what was always quality time with Gavin during our various outings to the Scottish Mountains. His infectious enthusiasm for just about everything and encyclopaedic memory for all forms of comedy and general wit had us rolling around with crippling laughter on too many occasions. A man of principals and compassion, a true gentleman and a scholar, a real pleasure to have known. We'll raise a glass of something you'd approve of in your honour on our next outing. We'll miss you but your memory will not fade.
