Heaven has gained an incredible Angel.
Gary Taylor… the person who made ordinary moments unforgettable! Lots of great memories with Claire, camping etc. when all of our kids were younger (Gary, you made sure our tents were hooked up to electricity)! Always prepared, it’s almost like you were once in the army!
I remember being in your garage with your tools all labelled in alphabetical or numeric order in their own immaculate boxes! Not to be touched by anyone but yourself! Bit of a Nerd Alert! I could do with a little bit of that myself.
You were such a character, there’s no one else like you! We knew you were in the pub before we’d see you. We’d hear your booming voice… (does Gary have a whisper switch? I’d ask Claire)! Unfortunately not she’d say.
You were either singing operatic tunes or something more current by The Killers etc. or you’d be doing handstands or maybe walking on your hands?
Amazing you could do all of that! Everyone was impressed, maybe not Claire, telling you to behave yourself but carrying on having so much fun/banter, just working your ticket.
Proud to have met and known you Gary, always friendly, funny and always had supportive words and advice for me. You’re going to be missed but always remembered by everyone who knew and loved you for your fantastic character and the best memories. You made my best friend an extremely happy lady for over 16 years.
Thank you for the adventures.
May you rest in peace our dear friend.
