What a really devastating piece of news to hear! Mr Gardiner was such a lovely man I knew him from when I was in my youngest years at Langmoor Primary school and from church. I remember the time I was asked to put a name forward of a person who had "selflessly served" my neighbourhood and there was absolutely no doubt in my mind about who I was going to choose. He has always been such a role model to me when he took me out to paint over graffiti or to pick up the dog poo that had been left. But my all time favourite memory was our yearly pumkin carving we did every year around Halloween I'd go to his house and we'd carve pumpkins! RIP: Gerald Harry Gardiner ?
