I am sorry in being a bit late to do this. Been struggling to think of the words for one of the best cyber chums I've ever had. Gary enjoyed me ranting about poor trains, talking about Rugby Union even though he'd never seen it, pics of my family and music. I enjoyed his humour and had hoped to meet him this year and show him Oxford, and take home to a proper game of rugby, where we'd have quaffed ale and been merry. I am devastated that I never got to meet him in person, however will be forever grateful for the banter and laughs we shared. He was as we say in the UK a scholar and a gentleman, with never a bad word to be said about anyone. I miss his calming words and depreciative humour, and I will be doing Gary's Big Day Put in Spetember, when I will go into Oxford and enact the day my wife Mel and I would have spent with him in his memory. My favourite memory was him commenting on his tour of the UK last year and messaging me to day he now realised I wasn't joking about how poor First Great awe stern Trains are...oh and rebuking me for suggesting beers he should try as they'd left him feeling a little jaded. He was a truly lovely bloke.
