I was totally shocked to read that Gary had left us. He cared for my husband at lewisham hospital in 2007 and was so caring and a dedicated nurse. So passionate about his work . I am sure he is greatly missed by all who knew him. RIP Gary.

To my wonderful amazing eccentric babysitter & friend saw a post I shared on Facebook about your award a year today made me think how much I really miss you wish we'd spent more time together but as my saying goes "your here for a good time not a long time" the times I share with you were good to say the least. May your memory live on forever with this award just hope they can do you justice xxxx

I first met Gary when he cared for my beautiful mum during her stay at Trinity Hospice. During her final days, he took me up to the chapel, I cried, he comforted. He had such a warm and caring soul. I will never ever forget how he made me feel during what was the hardest and most painful time of my life. Today is a year since she died so I went back to Trinity, in the hope of seeing him again and thanking him for all that he did and telling him that I'm getting through it like he said I would. Then I learned of his untimely death. This really hurts my heart. He instilled so much love and hope in those he cared for, I'll never ever forget the time I spent with him I the Chapel. Gary may your beautiful soul rest in eternal peace xxxx
