Gafyn was an important man in the life of my new Partner, Sue Batchelor. I attended school in Portsmouth and went passed the submarine base at HMS Dolphin (Gosport) twice a day and visited the submarines on all the Navy Days.
God rest his Soul.

In loving memory of my stepfather, who I was proud to call Gaf. He wasn't just a positive male role model; he was the one who taught me the fundamentals of being a good man with patience, humility, and quiet guidance. I will carry your lessons forever. I’ll try and live by the last message you sent me “make good memories in the time you have got”
Forever grateful, Mike.

I cannot put into words how much we are going to miss you. You were an amazing step dad and the best grandad from the minute they were born. You didn’t think you would get see Elenca graduate but the strength you had ensured you DID and that meant so much to her and I know it did for you too, you believed in her and knew she could achieve anything! Thank you for always being there and loving me like I was your own for all these years. You were a big part of our family and will be hugely missed. No one gives as good a hug as you did! Love you loads.

The love, care and dignity the Prospect team showed by wonderful brother Gafyn in his final weeks was incredible. As a family, we cannot thank you all enough!
