Peacefully at Coldstream Lifecare, Ashburton, in his 84th year. Elder son of Victor and May (both deceased). Treasured brother of Colin and the late Noelene Gardiner. Friend, uncle or cousin to many. Heartfelt thanks to Coldstream staff for their sympathetic professional care of Gavin. After a private cremation, Gavin’s ashes will be placed in the Rakaia cemetery in a private ceremony on a date to be determined.
