Gy Rampersaud (23 Feb 1951 - 6 Aug 2024)

I have just leanrd of Gy's passing.
I too first met Gy when he came to Gravesend Grammar School and developed a strong friendship with him, playing football (as David Haves desribes) and generally doing the things that teenagers do.
We even started work together at the GLC although Gy only lasted 1 day, I believe, before later on finding a far more fulfilling career in the education sector.
I recall particularly our hitch-hiking trip around Europe in 1971 with Maureen and Den (a mutual friend) with great stays in Scilla in Calabria, Sidari, Athens, before ending in Mykonos. Over the years, I paths did not cross so frquently and, indeed, we had not met for nearly 20 years as I left Essex for northern Lincolnshire.
Nevertheless, you were a very special friend to me Gy and I shaLL always remember you and think of you in that way

Hi Maureen we are very sorry for your loss. Gy was a great friend and lovely person. May God bless his soul and give you all the strength to bear this huge loss. He will be sadly missed by all of us. Our love and best wishes to you all

Dear Maureen and family. So sorry for your loss. With love from Gy’s cousin Kim Natasha

It was lovely living next door to Gy for so many years. My husband and I will always remember his kindness when my husband was unwell. May Gy now rest in peace.

Farewell golf buddy. You will be missed

Peter always spoke of you as "my brother", which is possibly why you were the only one, who could persuade him to take part in some right shenanigans (the public bus ride through the back streets of London with a maniac driver, was but one instance). The summer holidays at our French house were distinctly memorable. You and Peter, drinks in hand, walking along the road to that infamous tree every evening, was sacrosanct. Your organisation of the crazy golf course in the back garden there became a feature of our summers (who can forget the 'sickly pink'?).
We have so many memories over the past fifty years, from the sublime to the ridiculous, but, above all, we've had so much fun.
