The world has lost a wonderful, talented man who inspired so many. Neither Alex or I would be the people we are today without the teachings of Gary, and our whole family are so saddened. Thanks for all the wonderful times, for all the opportunities to learn and grow, and for sharing your wonderful talent with us all. I hope you’re singing up there. Love The Williamsons x x x
